AR1000 Laser Distance Sensor

The Acuity Laser Distance Sensor Model AR1000 can measure 30 meters with an accuracy of 3 mm. The AR1000 sensor can hold up to very tough environments. This sensor is ideal for crane and hoist applications, position measurement, or for monitoring fill levels of bulk material. The unique sensor uses phase shift comparison measurement principles (of light) to accurately measure distances of 30 meters. Longer ranges to 150 meters are possible with the use of reflective target boards

Features

  • Typical speeds are 6 Hz, but 50 Hz sampling can be realised with white targets at close ranges with small target movements.
  • The sensor is designed for industrial environments with NEMA-4, IP65 enclosure ratings. Typical data outputs are serial RS232, RS422 (optional) and current loop 4-20 mA signals.
  • This sensor is highly versatile, able to measure distances both indoors and outdoors
  • The AR1000 measures to hot glowing steel near 1000°C and it can measure to any opaque surface even radiating steel.
  • A special AR1000H version is available with an internal heater, making the sensor suitable for operation to -40°C (-40°F). Users can configure the cycling of the heater through the serial interface.
  • The accuracy of the measurement is typically +/-2.5 mm, but it will depend on the reflectivity of the target surface, lighting conditions and temperature conditions.
