Pepperl+Fuchs: R1000 Distance Sensor with Pulse Ranging Technology for Positioning Accuracy Down to a Millimeter
Dynamic applications such as distance measurement and positioning in storage and retrieval machines or shuttle cars require a high measuring rate. The new R1000 distance sensor with Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) is suitable for high-precision distance measurement. For this purpose, the dimension of the light spot was designed so that the sensor can easily compensate for mechanical influences such as vibrations and shocks. Due to its compact housing, easy integration in applications with confined installation space is possible. The red transmitter light for easy alignment of the photoelectric sensor and an integrated display ensure user-friendly commissioning and diagnostics.
