Baumer is known for their distance sensors... why? Their precise distance, position and spacing measurements! They excel even on challenging surfaces.
Here is a quick overview of the OADM series:
OADM 12/ OADM 13
Very small laser distance sensor
Resolution up to 2 μm
Teachable up to 550mm
Extremely accurate
Laser point or line point options
OADM 20/ OADM 21
Powerful sensor for factory automation
Resolution up to 4 μm
Teachable up to 1000mm
Extremeley accurate
Laser point or line point options
OADM 250/ OADM 260
Long measuring ranges of up to 13 meters!
Resolution up to 1.3mm
Time of flight principle for up to 13 meters
Extremeley accurate
Compact 20.4x135x45mm
Laser point
Additional optical distance sensors from Baumer include:
OADR 20
OM70-P/L
OM70-X (multi-spot laser distance sensor)
0300, 0500, FADx 14, OADK 25 - standard distance sensors
Distance sensors are ideal for measuring the thickness of metal, ceramics, wood or elastic bands. They have highly accurate dsitance measurements and can be used in quality inspection applications.
They are also commonly used for position feedback and level control.
On certain models you can choose between different beams, here are the three options:
Laser point - measurement of small obects with a spot size of <0.4mm, has a focused laser spot
Laser line - measurement of rough surfaces with a laser line of <10mm, has a fine laser line
Multi-spot - measurements on extremely rough and inhomogeneous* shiny surfaces with extra wide laser lines of <62mm, has an extra wide laser line
A few other common questions:
What is triangulation? The distance of an object is measured by means of the angle of incidence of the reflected light
What is Time of Flight? (a.k.a. propagation time measurement) - It is the process for indirect distance measurement by measureing the amount of time that a signal requires to cover the measuring distance
*not sure what inhomogeneous is? Basically this would be shiny surfaces that are not uniform, for instance they might have different dimensions
