BD Series

Laser Displacement Sensors (Sensor Head and Amplifier Unit)

The BD series laser displacement sensors can measure thickness, width, level difference, disparity, curve, evenness of target objects by detecting the amount of displacement. The sensors offer accurate and stable measurement with minimal influence from target color or material. The sensor head and amplifier unit are detachable for easier maintenance and up to 8 sensor amplifier units can be interconnected with mutual interference prevention function.

Easy Configuration with Movement Average, Differential, and Median Filters

Movement average, differential, and median filters allow for accurate and stable correction in measurement values in the event of sudden changes from mechanical noise or other variables.

 

Various Calculation Functions

Supports various calculation functions (OFF, ADD-AB, SUB-AB, AVG)
– OFF: independent measurement (calculation function not used)
– ADD-AB: Adds the measured values from sensor heads A/B (used to measure thickness)
– SUB-AB: Subtracts the measured values from sensor heads A/B (used to measure level difference/ disparity)
– AVG: averages the measured values from all connected sensor heads (used to measure evenness)
– Cannot use more than 2 calculation functions with interconnected sensor amplifier units
