Dimetix Laser Distance Sensors

Click2Contact

Dimetix Laser Distance Sensors are designed to help users determine the exact level of silos at any time, allowing them to optimise raw material stock.

The sensors can measure accurately at longer distances (≥65 m) on a wide variety of materials, without making contact with the materials being measured. Reliability and repeatability of laser measurements are also independent of colour and material. Surfaces consisting of white plastic pellets are measured as accurately as those composed of dry or wet gravel. Even in the case of semi-transparent plastic resin pellets, enough light is reflected back to the sensor to obtain accurate and reliable measurements.

Features include: easy installation thanks to visible laser beam; easy configuration thanks to the free software; operation in temperature range from -40 to +60°C possible; measuring ranges up to 100 m on natural surfaces; measuring ranges up to 500 m on reflective foil; Accuracy ± 1mm; Repeatability ± 0.3 mm; measurements can be acquired by a PLC or PC; and maintenance-free operation.

Suitable for monitoring industries, such as plastic moulding, food processing and construction materials, that all rely on bulk materials.
