Displacement/Distance Sensors

Micro-Epsilon, Raleigh, NC, introduced the optoNCDT 1750DR laser displacement and distance sensors for measurements on highly reflective surfaces such as plastics, mirrored glass, or polished metals. The sensors enable real-time surface compensation and feature an integrated controller for installation in tight spaces. They operate on the principle of direct reflection; evaluation algorithms compensate for the light that is back-scattered at high intensity.
