Application Principle of Laser Rangefinders in Industrial Automation Control

 

In the field of modern industrial automation control, there are many methods for locating components. Here is a solution implemented using a prism free laser rangefinder.

 

The structural features of IMPULSE allow you to obtain distance, altitude, and other data within 1 second without the need for a prism as a reflective target by simply aiming through the red dot in the aiming eyepiece mounted on IMPULSE and pressing the launch button. The measurement feature of IMPULSE is that it can measure data such as horizontal distance, inclination, and height through the use of a multifunctional menu style operation and built-in inclination sensors (200 type and 200LR type). In terms of usage, IMPULSE is more considerate of customer needs, providing functions such as left and right hand operation, data download, and optional remote triggering.

In addition, IMPULSE, which is used in conjunction with options such as MapStar, is even more powerful, immediately becoming the lightest X, Y, Z 3D measurement system, and can meet customers' broader measurement needs through data output ports, collectors, software, and other options.

 

Structural features: Aiming eyepiece - The aiming eyepiece is equipped with a red aiming point inside to help you accurately aim at the target. The intensity of the red point can be adjusted to adapt to different lighting environments. The transmission mirror - IMPULSE emits infrared laser signals through the transmission mirror. Receiver mirror receives the reflected infrared radiation 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 combinations to meet different work needs. Speaker reports the working condition of the instrument to you through different sounds. LCD Screen - The precision backlit LCD screen can meet your needs for day and night operations, displaying the data you want anytime, anywhere. The data output port - IMPULSE provides the function of data download, and you only need to use the data output port to download the data for more detailed processing.

 

Internal structure: IMPULSE mainly consists of a wide range laser sensor, a fluid tilt sensor, a aiming eyepiece, and a data output port. IMPULSE combines sensors and software, and operates through three buttons on the two sides of the instrument panel to obtain data on the LCD display on the back panel.

 

Working principle: IMPULSE provides real-time distance and angle values through laser sensors and tilt sensors. When conducting measurement work, IMPULSE emits a beam of infrared light from the emitting mirror, which is reflected back to the receiving mirror when it hits the target object. IMPULSE's laser sensor calculates the distance value by calculating the time it takes for the infrared short pulse to fly, while the tilt sensor is responsible for measuring vertical angle, calculating height, elevation angle, slope, horizontal distance and other data.
