O2DS Scanners

The O2DS scanner is developed for the need of 2D- / profile-measurement in any kind of industrial application. The ruggedly constructed scanners are designed to give a very reliable measuring performance with good measuring accuracy. Small scan angels and/or high measuring frequencies create very high angular resolutions. Another advantage of the Flying Spot principle is the use of a single spot and not a laser line. The intensity of the laser light is furthermore continuously adapted by feed back to the optimal intensity for the surface of the application.

There are 4 different measuring ranges in each series. The smallest is 100 mm, measuring from 80 to 180 mm and the largest is 1.400mm, measuring from 700 to 2.100 mm. The resolution varies from 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm. The smaller the measuring range is, the better the resolution will be. O2DS models are available with measuring frequence of 2 kHz or 6 kHz.

The O2DS measuring system is a compact unit where optics, CCD-camera, and digital electronics all are integrated. There is no need for a separate controller unit. The output is a serial interface RS422. For the 2 kHz O2DS also RS232 is available.

The actual interface to the application software is a DLL library for programs running under Windows.

The sensors can also be delivered as HT (high temperature) models for measuring on objects with surface temperature above 450°C. The HT sensor models can measure on surfaces up to about 1000°C. In VHT specification up to 1300°C can be reached. The sensor itself can however not resist high temperatures; therefore precautions must be taken when sensors are being used for such applications.

Scanners can furthermore be customized to other than standard scan angels and measuring ranges.
