OptoNCDT 1320 and 1420 Micro-Epsilon has expanded the capabilities of its OptoNCDT line of laser triangulation sensors, which are used in a wide variety of applications, including dynamic acceleration tasks on machine axes or pick-and-place movements involving robot arms. The noncontact, compact sensors measure displacement, distance and position.
What's new? Bigger measurement ranges. The 1320, which has greater accuracy and resolution than the 1420, now has a version that can take measurements within a 100mm range. The 1420, which offers faster measurement rates than the 1320, now has 100mm and 200mm measurement ranges. Previously, the sensors were offered in ranges of 10mm, 25mm and 50mm.
Benefits More applications. The sensors can be used from farther away for a variety of applications, such as measuring objects with hot surfaces.
