LDM302A
Reliable distance measurement on poorly reflecting surfaces
The laser distance measurement sensor LDM302A is technically based on the versatile LDM301A. It has, however, especially been optimized for reliable distance measurements on poorly reflecting surfaces.
The proven time-of-flight measurement principle combines high resistance against ambient interferences with the safety of laser class 1. The high-energy, but very short laser pulses allow for measurements with centimeter precision and a high repetition rate.
Function
The signal processing that has been changed compared against the LDM301A ensures reliable measurements up to 200 m without reflectors with a target reflectivity of only 6%.
The sensor can also be used in harsh industrial environments, such as ports or open cast mines due to the integrated heating and the protective housing according to protection class IP 67. The LDM302A offers the option to add visors or additional interfaces such as Profibus DP.
