XLR30
Are you searching for a laser distance sensor with millimeter accuracy?
XLR 30 is a laser based sensor that has a long measurement range, >30m, with mm-accuracy. XLR 30 is a laser based sensor working with phase shift technology. This means that the measurement accuracy is the same regardless of measurement distance. It can be used for level measurement in many applications and tough environments, thanks to its high protection class (IP65).
Measurement laser sensor for tough environments
The operating temperature of XLR30 is -10°C to 60°C, which equals 14 – 140°F. The measurement accuracy stays the same regardless of remoteness of the measurement object. The sum of these attributes, together with the long measurement range of the laser in XLR30, makes it ideal for use in many applications. It is perfect for use for e.g:
- Level measurement in silos
- Mat height before presses,
- Head control/slurry height in gypsum line mixers
- Positioning applications e. g. of carriers, cranes and panels.
Easy setup and connection
The XLR30 laser sensor is easy to install and comes with various data interfaces for easy connection to different production control systems. The attributes are easily configured, using the PC setup and display software included in delivery.
