Measuring sensors for hazardous areas


Laser triangulation sensors
(LTG)

Highlights

  • Laser triangulation based distance measurement
  • Reproducibility < 10µm
  • Mounting directly in Ex zones 1, 2, 21, 22
  • Measurement by optical power limitation in Ex zones 0 and 20
  • Working range from 50 mm to 150 mm
  • Output through digital interface RS422 and configurable analogue interface 4-20mA
  • Protection class IP65

Applications

  • Level measurements on lacquers, solvent-based liquids
  • Unbalance checks on shafts
  • Cap inspection on filling machines for spray cans, bottles etc.
  • Thickness and diameter measurements
  • Quality control

Applications can be found in heavy industry, power generation, automotive industry, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, paint industry, etc.

Laser distance sensors
(LDx)

Highlights

  • Light time-of-flight-based distance measurement (laser distance measurement or laser time-of-flight measurement)
  • Can be used directly in Ex zones 1, 2, 21, 22, may radiate into Ex zones 0 and 20
  • Distance meter with large measuring range from 50 mm to 30,000 mm distance
  • Displacement meter with 1mm resolution via RS-485
  • Length measurement also via configurable analogue interface 4-20mA
  • Complies with laser class 2 with red laser (635nm)
  • In explosion-proof M42 stainless steel housing

Infrared distance sensors (TDD)
after the Time-of-flight principle

Highlights

  • Infrared light 890nm with a measuring range from 100 mm to 1000 mm
  • Precise and centimetre-accurate time-of-flight measurement (TOF principle)
  • Versions with switching function and analogue output 4-20 mA
  • Works independently of the reflectance of the object to be measured
  • Explosion-proof, robust and compact M30 metal housing in flameproof enclosure Ex "d
  • Approved for operation in Ex zones 1, 2, 21, 22 (gas and dust Ex)
  • Protection class IP 67

 

Applications

  • Distance, length and height measurements up to 1000 mm
