Laser sensors are extremely accurate
Two extraordinarily accurate long-range time-of-flight laser sensors - one of which has an extremely long range of 250m - have Teach-mode programming.
Banner Engineering has introduced the extraordinarily accurate LT7 long-range time-of-flight laser sensors, available in two models: retroreflective and diffuse The retroreflective model has an extremely long range of 250m

Compact ultrasonic sensors push-button programmed
Compact ultrasonic sensors feature an advanced microprocessor design, push-button programming and bright diagnostic status LEDs located directly on the sensor housing.
The diffuse model features a range up to 10m for a white target, up to 7m for a gray target and up to 3m for a black target.
To eliminate cumbersome potentiometer adjustments, both models have Teach-mode programming using either integrated push-buttons or a serial interface.
A visible pilot laser makes accurate alignment fast and easy.
Key features include the following: * Multiple outputs.
* Discrete outputs for precision background suppression.
* Alarm outputs with on-board LCD display for easy troubleshooting.
* Ongoing LCD display of sensing distance in millimeters or hundredths of an inch.
* RS422- or SSI-compatible serial connection options.
* Excellent +/- 10mm linearity.
* Quick warmup to minimise drift.
For the retroreflective model: * Extremely long range, ideal for automated storage and retrieval applications.
* +/- 2mm resolution.
* Two discrete (PNP) and two alarm outputs.
For the diffuse model: * Dark-color performance, ideal for automotive applications.
* +/- 4mm resolution.
* Two discrete (PNP) and two alarm outputs, and 4-20mA analog output.
