A new range of optoelectronic displacement sensors offering a new range of features has been launched by Micro-Epsilon.
The 1402 laser sensor includes an integral controller that automatically compensates in real-time for surfaces such as shiny metal, gloss paint and black rubber that can be difficult to measure.
It can also be used for quality inspection both online and offline, dynamic part profiling and part recognition.
Chris Jones, managing director at Micro-Epsilon UK, said the product offers a "high performance, cost effective laser displacement sensor" with the flexibility to allow the user to adjust the measuring range to suit individual tasks.
He added: "An increased measuring rate of 1.5kHz also means the sensor can easily cope with very fast, inline production, assembly or quality inspection tasks."
Earlier in the year Micro-Epsilon demonstrated its latest thermometer CT laser range of infrared non-contact temperature sensors, at the MAINTEC exhibition in Birmingham.
