bannerengineering.com—July 11, 2005—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 250 m. The diffuse model features a range up to 10 m for a white target, up to 7 m for a gray target and up to 3 m 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 displayfor easy troubleshooting
- Ongoing LCD display of sensing distance in millimeters or hundredths of an inch
- RS422- or SSI-compatible serial connection options
- Excellent +/- 10 mm linearity
- Quick warmup to minimize drift
- For the retroreflective model: --Extremely long range, ideal for automated storage and retrieval applications --+/- 2 mm resolution --Two discrete (PNP) and two alarm outputs
- For the diffuse model: --Dark-color performance, ideal for automotive applications --+/- 4 mm resolution --Two discrete (PNP) and two alarm outputs, and 4-20 mA analog output For additional information, Contact Banner or visit www.bannerengineering.com/lt7
