Additional Information

N/A The optoNCDT 1220 is a laser triangulation sensor with compact size for precise displacement, distance and position measurements. The laser sensor is available with measuring ranges from 10 to 50 mm and offers both high measurement accuracy and an adjustable measuring rate up to 1 kHz.

Due to its extremely compact size with integrated controller, the sensor can also be installed in restricted spaces. As well as an analog output, an RS422 interface is available for integration. Its low weight makes this laser sensor ideally suitable for applications where high accelerations occur, e.g., in industrial printers or on robot grippers.

The Active Surface Compensation (ASC) provides stable distance signal control regardless of target color or brightness. Commissioning is quick and easy via function keys or the web interface.

The optoNCDT 1220 offers a unique combination of design, versatility and measurement accuracy. Due to its excellent price/performance ratio, the sensor is ideal for automation tasks and OEM integration with a large number of pieces.
