The optoNCDT 5500 laser sensor is available with four measuring ranges of 10, 25, 100, and 200 mm. Both a standard and an extended measuring range are available for each model, making the sensor particularly versatile.
The laser displacement sensor is specially designed for displacement measurements of diffuse reflective materials and is ideal for demanding measurement tasks, such as in the case of rapidly changing and poorly reflecting surfaces. With an adjustable measuring rate of 0.25 to 75 kHz and a maximum power consumption of just 5 W, the optoNCDT 5500 also offers high energy efficiency.
The outstanding precision of the sensor is reflected in a linearity of from 1.5 µm and a repeatability of less than 0.0015 %. Thanks to its IP67 protection class, the sensor is ideally suited for use in harsh industrial environments. The RS422 and Ethernet interfaces can be used for communication, and drag chain-compatible extension and adapter cables are also available.
Advanced Surface Compensation with innovative algorithms makes it possible to quickly regulate the exposure time, enabling the sensor to achieve stable measurement results even on challenging surfaces with changing reflections. The optoNCDT 5500 is also extremely resistant to ambient light and can be easily used in very bright environments with up to 50,000 Lux ambient light without any problems.
Thanks to its compact design, the sensor can also be installed in tight spaces. An adapter plate makes it easier to change from the predecessor model optoNCDT 2300 to the optoNCDT 5500. Typical fields of application include the assembly of printed circuit boards, position testing of components, wear testing on rails in rail traffic, and thickness measurement in tyre production.
