Object Positioners

The Laser Advantage

The ultimate solution for industrial process challenges, Optech’s laser rangefinders exploit the unique properties of light to produce precise, reliable, fast measurements. High update rates provide accurate measurements even when objects move quickly or material levels change rapidly. "Last-pulse logic" and internal windowing software filter out any false returns from obstacles passing between the rangefinder and the object or material.

Optech Technology

Rapid measurements, up to 5 readings per second
Accurate, with absolute accuracies of 2-4 cm depending on the model
Non-contact, non-intrusive measurements
Measure through moderate amounts of dust by using advanced software
Narrow beam divergence for long-range tracking of small targets, accurate unit location/alignment, and to aim past obstacles

Laser Measurements Are Unaffected By…

Moderate amount of dust
Mounting angle or orientation
High temperature or temperature variations
Background noise
Vehicle vibration
Vapor pressure
Off-gas layers or steam
Vacuum barriers
Low dielectric constant of material
