Building upon this success, the LM series will now be available with discrete, analog (voltage and current), and serial outputs to solve the toughest measurement applications. Voltage (0-10V) output and RS-232 serial output models have been added to both the LM80 and the LM150. The serial model provides high resolution distance measurements with RS-232 data export via a separate communications cable, providing a lower cost alternative to ethernet based protocol. The LM further differentiates itself by providing RS-232 communications with a single, low profile accessory, while other competitors require both an amplifier and communications gateway. The addition of analog models with embedded voltage outputs offers more application flexibility when interfacing with PLC inputs cards or taking readings with a voltage meter.
Precise Measurement
LM Series sensors provide reliable quality and process control with 0.002 mm resolution and repeatably to accurately measure real world targets in a wide range of colors. It has been designed with dynamic power adjustment for precise measurement across shiny and dark targets, providing more reliable inspections with less measurement variation.
High Speed
With response speeds as fast as 0.5ms, the LM can reliably detect fast moving targets to solve high-speed applications. High measurement speeds allow the LM sensor to better identify a problem on fast moving parts while reducing the time required for inspections. Capable of a 4khz measurement rate, the LM150 offers a best in class speed, for more precise tracking of geometry changes.
Real World Stability
LM Series sensors combine a thermally stable design that resists temperature changes, and enhanced mounting stability, enabling tremendous accuracy in the toughest environments. The +-/-0.006mm °C temperature effect offered by LM sensors is imperative for high-precision applications where even a few degrees of temperature change can cause other sensors’ measurement error to double. It has a chemical-resistant, compact stainless-steel housing that fits in tight spaces.
Quick Setup and Replacement
The optional RSD remote display is designed to provide easy sensor configuration and monitoring. The RSD stores up to six configurations for product changeover and easy device replacement. It can be used for initial setup by equipment manufacturers with the ability to copy settings across many sensors.
