High-performance laser distance sensors – OM70

• Unrivalled measurement performance even under difficult environmental conditions like ambient light
• Robust measurement results even on demanding surfaces thanks to extra fine line beam
• Stable measurement signals thanks to comprehensive functions such as automatic exposure control or adjustable filters

• Extremely easy sensor adjustment to specific requirements via intuitive Baumer web interface
• Fast analyses thanks to live monitoring of measurement values and conditions
• Early detection and suppression of interference signals for process-reliable measurements

• Simple integration into the various levels of the automation pyramid with Modbus TCP, OPC/UA and EtherNet/IP
• Efficient integration at the field level and simple device replacement thanks to PROFINET with conformity class B
• On-the-fly-parameterization via every interface for flexible production volumes
• Added value from secondary data, such as the signal quality or the lighting reserve, e.g., for a preventive maintenance concept

Thanks to the automatic exposure time control and the small laser spot of the OM70 laser point, the robot can be positioned very precisely, for example to install small screws.

The OM70 laser line sensors reliably check compliance with the tolerances of the sheet thickness of brushed metal and at the same time perform a double sheet check to prevent machine damage and loss of production.

In timber processing, the OM70 laser line sensor checks the dimensional accuracy of glued laminated timber in order to ensure the required structural loadcarrying capacity of the beam.

The Ethernet TCP/IP interface with PROFINET (conformity class B), Modbus TCP, UDP streaming, OPC UA and EtherNet/IP integrated in the sensor head simplifies the integration and configuration of the devices.

The measurement of miniature elements is no problem for the OM70 thanks to its highly focused spot beam. The diameter of the spot is minimized in the sweet spot (focus), and thus the spot can be placed on the object itself. Measurement errors from adjacent surfaces are eliminated. 

Dark or glossy surfaces are a challenge for most optical distance sensors. Not for the OM70. The OM70 is equipped with a particularly sensitive line that can evaluate even the smallest light quantities. It allows reliable measurement even on demanding materials. 

Sensors with standardized protocols can be efficiently integrated into the various levels of the automation pyramid. Additional data such as the exposure reserve that serves as an indicator of sensor contamination is also available.

See what the sensor sees – this is made possible by the intuitive web interface of the OM70 High Performance Laser Distance Sensor. Measured values are clearly visualized at a glance. Challenging measurement tasks can be solved in development, without specific sensor know-how.
