Laser Sensors Detect Specific Objects

Feb. 1, 2001

Engineered with a polarization filter that allows only light received from a specially designed reflector to be recognized by the detector, the Series OPDM 12 retro-reflective laser sensors eliminate erroneous readings caused by shiny or reflective objects. The devices feature a miniature Class 2 laser in a 12.4 mm x 35 mm x 35 mm , IP 67-sealed housing.
Features include a maximum sensing range of 5.5 meters, beam focal point of 400 mm, and a response time of less than 0.5 ms. Both cable and connector versions of the device are available.
