Laser distance sensors get smaller,
ranges expand
It is possible to make high accuracy, non-contact measurements when space is at a premium using a very compact laser distance sensor available in two measuring ranges: 16-26mm and 16-120mm.
The laser distance sensor 12 series sets a new standard for the size of optical measuring laser sensors Now it is possible to make high accuracy, non-contact measurements when space is at a premium

Configurable transmitter measures up to 400 bar
Based on a piezoresistive polysilicon strain gauge sensor, a fully configurable pressure transmitter with Profibus PA can measure absolute or relative pressure of up to 400 bar.
Despite its small dimensions of 12x37x34 mm, no features from its larger counterparts are missing.
Two measuring ranges (16-26mm and 16-120mm) are available with a resolution down to 2microns.
The analog current output (4-20mA) can be scaled to indicate the measuring distance.
Even the teachable measuring range feature is offered by the OADM 12.
The teach-in procedure can be achieved by the built in teach button or via the external teach-in wire.
The sensor's measuring values are nearly independent of color and surface texture and offer an excellent degree of linearity.
Even the response time of this the little sensor reaches the same 0.9ms value as its big brother.
The OADM 12 offers everything a fast, automated measuring application needs.
Visit us on Stand 4480 at the Total Processing and Packaging exhibition at the NEC between Monday 29th March and Thursday 1st April where we would be pleased to demonstrate this sensor and show you our full range of products.
