Laser
The laser product group includes laser sensors to measure short or long distances to objects, determine diameters, measure displacements, count objects at very high speed, or position materials or objects. Want to learn more about the different laser sensors? Read the article:The different types of laser sensors“.
In that article, the distance lasers, displacement lasers, laser projectors, laser light grids, photoelectric laser sensors, positioning lasers and the edge detection sensors are described in terms of operation and usability in various applications.
The advantage of sensors from the laser product category is that they are characterized by a high precision, large measuring range and high speed. We offer a wide range of different laser sensors that bring these benefits to the desired application. In addition, there is a choice in important specifications such as the laser class, type of housing, connection, supported interfaces and types of outputs. Due to this diversity, there are various options for adapting our solutions to your application.

LiDAR
To be able to measure the distance to an object or surface with a laser, it uses LiDAR (LIght Detection of Laser Imaging And Ranging) technology. The LiDAR laser emits a laser pulse to an object or surface. The pulse is then reflected. The distance is calculated based on the elapsed time between the emission of the laser pulse and receiving the reflection.Distance lasers
We have a wide and deep range of distance lasers, making any challenge manageable. Sensor Partners' laser distance sensors are designed to consistently and non-contact measure distances in industrial environments.Each series offers a different quality that comes into its own in the applications for which it is suitable. Most important is the measuring range; it ranges from length measurements of 5 meters to as much as 3000 meters! In addition, special ATEX-compliant distance lasers that can be used for distance measurements in critical applications with explosion hazards. This is made possible by a special ATEX housing with which the distance sensor is equipped.To ensure that the lasers fit the application, there is the possibility to choose from different connectors (M12 and M16) with different numbers of pins. Supported interfaces are: RS232, RS422, SSI and Profibus.What all the laser distance sensors below have in common are robustness, high quality and versatility of use!Laser edge detection sensors
The edge detection sensors from the RED series from Sensor Instruments are specially designed for inline detection and counting of one side of a product or object. For example, during the production and processing of newspapers, magazines, single sheets of paper, cardboard, flow packs, sheet material, welds and other flat products, which often (partly) overlap in the production process. The RED edge detection sensors recognize transitional differences of down to 0.1 mm. The software is optimized in such a way that it can reliably handle contrast and gloss differences of the object to be detected.Laser photoelectric sensors
Photoelectric laser sensors are used to detect (small) products or objects in fast applications. The sensors distinguish themselves by their high switching frequency of up to 300 kHz. Photoelectric laser sensors are available in separate transmitter/receiver, as a diffuse proximity sensor with background suppression or as a sensor in combination with a reflector.Laser light curtains
Laser light curtains are digital micrometers that can be used for diameter measurements, positioning and web edge control with a resolution down to 2 µm. The position of the object can be determined very accurately by interrupting (a part of) this light. Our laser curtains are available in fork housing or separate transmitter/receiver with a curtain height of up to 100 mm. The models with a separate transmitter and receiver can be placed a maximum of 2 meters apart.Laser projectors
A laser projector is an advanced optical device that uses lasers to project images, patterns, text or graphic information onto a surface. This type of projector is typically used in industrial applications and manufacturing environments for various purposes such as quality control, part positioning, marking and inspection.Positioning lasers
Positioning lasers are a visual tool for the positioning of products in production processes. Think of processes such as the aligning of a conveyor, the positioning of pieces of fabric in the textile industry and the projecting of sawlines in the wood industry.Sensor Partners supplies projection lasers from Z-Laser. A comprehensive range of industrial positioning lasers manufactured in Germany. Z-Laser's lasers can be divided into several series, each with unique features.One feature is the optical power of the lasers: it determines the brightness of the projection as well as the laser class for work safety. Another important feature is the projection, because there is a choice of a line laser, cross laser and point laser. The different projections are suitable for different applications, such as the positioning in a tire press for the production of automobile tires.Getting more out of your laser application? With various accessories, you increase the functionality of the laser! Think of a line limiter used for the limitting of the line projection to the desired opening angle. Another option is a mounting bracket which makes sure that the laser can be mounted in any desired manner.Displacement sensors
Displacement lasers work on the basis of the triangulation principle.This principle lends itself for the measurement of short, but also longer distance fluctuations. The displacement sensors are ideal for thickness measurements, profile measurements and positioning purposes.
