Optical distance sensors
Turck Optical distance sensors
Optical distance sensors deliver a measured value rather than a switching signal: they determine the distance to the object and output it as an analog signal or via IO-Link. Depending on the design, measurement is by triangulation – the reflected beam hits a different point on the receiver depending on distance – or by the time of flight of the light, which allows greater distances. This makes it possible to track levels in open containers, measure stack heights, guide web edges or control sag. Turck offers versions with a red laser for small light spots and with LED light for less demanding applications, plus variants with a switching output in addition to the measured value.
