Distance sensors

Highlights Fast and accurate measurement, precise positioning and detection of a wide range of materials IO-Link sensors can be operated in IO-Link mode or standard I/O mode Our distance sensors cover a wide range of applications: Triangulation sensors for near-field applications Time-of-flight sensors for long working distances Distance sensors for all operating ranges Triangulation for close range The measurement principle of optical triangulation is suitable for the precise determination of distances at close range. With the help of special receiver optics and a position-sensitive detector (e.g. a photodiode line), the sensor can determine the object distance regardless of its reflectivity (see illustration below). The color and surface properties (e.g. highly reflective) thus have practically no effect on measurement accuracy.
