The optoNCDT 1900 laser triangulation sensors are used for automated displacement, distance and position measurements in industrial processes. They deliver highly accurate measurements in applications such as automotive manufacturing, 3D printing, coordinate measuring machines, injection molding, packaging and CNC machines, as well as in the battery industry, smartphone production, robot applications and wood processing.

The new protective housing, which is now available, makes these sensors even more suitable for use in industrial environments. The housing does not completely enclose the sensor, as it already has IP67 protection. It is simply mounted on the front of the sensor and enables a compact design to be maintained. The protective housing has an air purge for cleaning the protective windows. This also cools the sensor.

The optoNCDT 1900 sensors can also be easily connected to control systems using the integrated EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET interfaces. This is particularly advantageous for dynamic processes and when several devices and machines are networked together. thanks to the two-stage measurement averaging, the laser sensors ensure a smooth signal curve on steps and edges, which prevents signal overshoots. Advanced Surface Compensation is available for changing surfaces, which adapts the exposure time to the target surface in the event of rapid surface changes.
