Description

Non-Contact Laser Triangulation Sensors – High-Performance Lasers

The range of precision laser triangulation sensors that are fully Orbit Enabled are fully compatible with all Solartron Readouts and Gauging Software is ideal for highly reflective, metallic surfaces.

Excellent on Metallic and Reflective Surfaces

The laser performs extremely well on pieces of metal, even if they are reflective. This is partially due to an oval beam, which helps compensate for irregularities or roughness. We have demonstrated this laser to some customers, and it performed extremely well. One agent in China tested it by placing a mirror-like gauge block underneath the beam, and said it performed better than any other laser they had tried.

No Controller

Most Keyence laser units require an additional controller for their laser unit. For Orbit LT2, everything is self contained. This can help save costs.

Orbit Connectivity

As with our past lasers, Orbit LT2 can be networked contact probes and other sensors via Orbit. This has been a key advantage for customers that want just one connection into a PC or PLC for all of their sensors.
