The new optoNCDT1402 laser sensor from Micro-Epsilon replaces the company’s previous optoNCDT 1401 product. The new sensor provides improved performance and extreme flexibility. This flexibility comes from a brand new teach-in function, which can be used to limit or change the measuring range for each application. In this way, both the resolution and the linearity of the sensor in the pre-set measuring range can be significantly improved. This is of particular benefit in applications where only a small measuring range but high performance is required. The flexibility of the system is further enhanced by an integrated swiveling cable connector, which can be used to change the direction of the cable output to suit the individual application. By utilizing a CMOS sensor, the optoNCDT 1402 has an increased measuring rate of 1.5 kHz making it suitable for rapid processes.
