Application of the Laser Range Finder's Control Principle for Industrial Automation
In the field of modern industrial automation control, there are many ways to locate components. Here is a solution implemented with a mirrorless laser rangefinder.
Produced by American Laser Technology Company and Hong Kong Diocesan Engineering Co., Ltd. as the general agent in China, the industrial IMPULSE (Inbers) mirrorless laser rangefinder has a standard RS232 serial port output function, and can continuously collect a data every 0.7 seconds. data. The instrument transmits the measured slant distance, vertical distance, horizontal distance, inclination angle and other parameters to the computer through the RS232 data port, and the computer judges the position of the target according to the obtained data, so as to control the mechanical parts to change the position of the target and achieve automatic height control Purpose.
The structural features of IMPULSE allow you to aim at the red dot in the eyepiece mounted on IMPULSE and press the launch button to obtain data such as distance and height within 1 second. No need for a prism as a reflective target. The feature of IMPULSE measurement is that it can measure data such as horizontal distance, inclination and height through the use of multi-function menu operation and built-in slope sensor (type 200 and type 200LR). In terms of use, IMPULSE is more considerate of customer needs, providing functions such as left-handed operation, data download, and optional remote control triggering.
In addition, the IMPULSE used in combination with [MapStar] (MapStar) and other options is even more powerful. It can immediately become a set of the most portable X, Y, Z three-dimensional measurement system, and can be used through the data output port and Acquisition, software and other options to meet the needs of customers in a wider range of measurement work.
Structural features: Aiming at the eyepiece ----- There is a red aiming dot inside the aiming eyepiece to help you aim at the target accurately. The intensity of the red dot is adjustable to adapt to different light environments. Transmitter --------IMPULSE emits infrared laser signals through the transmitter. Receiving mirror -------- The receiving mirror receives the reflected infrared rays and transmits the signal to the internal circuit of the instrument for calculation. Operation buttons---Three operation buttons can perform dozens of operations through different coordination to meet different work needs. Loudspeaker -------- Report the working condition of the instrument to you through different sounds. LCD screen------Precise backlit LCD screen can meet your day and night operation needs, and display the data you want anytime, anywhere. Data output port----IMPULSE provides the function of data download, you only need to download the data through the data output port for more detailed processing.
Internal structure: IMPULSE is mainly composed of a wide range laser sensor, a fluid tilt sensor, a sighting eyepiece and a data output port. IMPULSE combines the sensor and software, operates through the three buttons on the two side panels of the instrument, and obtains data from the LCD display on the rear panel.
How it works: IMPULSE provides instant distance and angle values through laser sensors and tilt sensors. When measuring, IMPULSE emits a beam of infrared rays from the transmitting mirror, and the infrared rays hit the target and reflect back to the receiving mirror, while the laser sensor of IMPULSE calculates the elapsed time of short infrared pulses To determine the distance value, the tilt sensor is responsible for measuring the vertical angle, calculating and determining data such as height, elevation angle, slope, and horizontal distance.
IMPULSE has great spectral sensitivity and can measure reflective and non-reflective targets. The maximum distance can be 600 meters (2000 feet), but the actual maximum distance is affected by the specific target and the surrounding environment conditions, and is determined by the surrounding environment conditions. The tilt sensor is capable of measuring 360 degrees, the instrument is displayed as ±180 degrees by the tilt sensor, the instrument is kept horizontal at 0 degrees, rotated upwards is a + value, and rotated downwards is a - value.
