Ultra-Compact and Lightweight CMOS Displacement Laser Ideal for Industrial Robots

(Product News, 28 Oct 2009)

Weighing only 65 grams the newly released Optex FA CD33 series displacement laser sensor features sub-pixel processing for micron-accurate detection of all materials from white ceramic to black rubber. The CD33 is ideal for mounting on robot heads and linear slides/cylinders where light weight and compact sensors are required.
The self-contained and ultra-compact sensor provides a variety of control outputs that include both digital and analog. Serial communication is also available for simple direct connection to PC and PLC's.
The CD33 features ± 0.1% F.S. linearity making it the ideal choice for applications that require real-time production monitoring of coating, extrusion, laminating and component assembly machines
Intuitive set-up is provided with two large buttons for function select and set point setting minimizing set-up time for simple go/no-go detection of thickness and distance of all materials in error-proofing applications
Typical Industries include: rubber, automotive, lumber, steel, robotics, semi-conductor, and tire inspection. Optex FA is a world leader in the design, manufacture and application of high quality factory and process automation sensors.
