PRT sensors have already proven themselves thousands of times in a wide range of applications. One of the major advantages of
Pulse Ranging Technology is the high sensing range that can be achieved. The
measurement of ranges up to 500 m is possible without restricting sensor accuracy.
In addition to the distance measurement devices from the VDM100 series, which measure up to 500 m using reflectors, Pepperl+Fuchs has further developed the universal distance sensors from the VDM28 series. The new VDM28-15 distance sensor with extended measuring range measures up to15 m on diffuse reflective surfaces.
The large measuring range and the new variants with eye-safe laser class 1 make the VDM28 series sensors even more flexible and pave the way for other applications outside of industrial automation.
It is not necessary to take any safety precautions in areas where people congregate when using lasers from Laser class 1. High precision, reliable cross-talk protection and extremely high resistance to environmental influences such as ambient light make these sensors unique.
