Request Information
The optoNCDT1420 offers a unique combination of speed, size, performance and application versatility in the range of compact triangulation sensors. The lightweight sensor with integrated controller is designed for dynamic measurements and can also be integrated into restricted installation space. The selectable connector type, i.e. cable or pigtail, together with compact size reduce the sensor installation effort to a minimum. Just like all triangulation sensors from Micro-Epsilon, the optoNCDT 1420 provides an intelligent surface regulation. This is how the Auto Target Compensation (ATC) ensures stable results regardless of changing colors or brightness of the target. The high-performance optical system projects the small light spot sharply onto the measurement object which enables to even detect smallest components reliably.

Highest Precision in a Minimum of Space

N/A Compact size combined with low weight opens up new fields of application. Different output signals enable to integrate the sensor into plant or machine control systems. As well as analog voltage and current outputs, a digital RS422 interface provides distance information from the sensor. Due to the selectable setting and evaluation possibilities, the optoNCDT 1420 meets the requirements for use in high volume and OEM applications. The compact triangulation sensor achieves a high measurement accuracy even with measuring rates of up to 4 kHz.

Unique Ease of Use, Individual Results

N/A All optoNCDT 1420 models are operated using an intuitive web interface. Presets for the selection of the measurement task enable fast sensor parameter set up. Using the 'Standard', 'Changing surfaces' and 'Material with penetration' settings, precise measurement results are easily achieved without any complex optimization.

Furthermore, up to eight user-specific sensors settings can be stored and exported in the setup management. This is how stored sensor settings can be easily transferred to other sensors. The optoNCDT offers an extended web interface which provides many additional functions. The video signal display, the signal peak selection and a freely adjustable signal averaging enable to optimize the measurement task.

The ROI function (region of interest) allows e.g. for interfering signals in the background to be filtered out. The remaining signal peak is therefore optimally corrected.
