<\/figure>Level measurement in tanks, silos or large containers with the level displayed on remote monitors<\/strong>. The LASER sensor allows precise, rapid measurement even of liquid products where the reflectance of the surface is sufficient for the LASER spot to be detected. The LASER distance meter is a sound replacement for the contact distance meter or the ultrasonic detector. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Measurement of the size, distance or position of large objects in the metallurgical and steel industry. <\/strong>Real-time communication of position and distance to PLCs, HMIs or process control devices. LASER distance meters make it possible to check coil diameter during winding in order to programme acceleration or deceleration ramps. Edge position can be detected for movement tracking, as can the thickness, width and length of billets and plates. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Measurement of length, diameter, ovality and position in the timber sector<\/strong>. LASER distance meters make it possible to measure the position of logs or blocks of material before processing. Position, thickness, length or diameter data can be transmitted in real time to PLCs, HMIs or SCADA systems. Irregular timber surfaces are not a problem, since LDM series LASER distance meters constantly correct their operating parameters to guarantee a precise, reliable measurement. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Dimensional control in the paper and textile industry<\/strong>. Loop and position control of the web or belt, even with materials that change colour or surface appearance. The distance measurement can be transmitted in real time to the line controller (PLC or SCADA) or displayed on a display or a large-format monitor. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Measurement and dimensional control in the metal industry<\/strong>. The characteristics of LDM series LASER distance meters allow precise, reliable measurement even at high temperatures, in the presence of fumes and vapours or on hot surfaces. Problems caused by heat or light emitted by the target can be eliminated or greatly reduced by using protective housings or fitting optical filters <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Dimensional control in the metallurgical sector, in both hot and cold applications.<\/strong> The LASER distance meter can provide, in real time, the position, distance and dimensions (thickness, width, length) of slabs, blooms and billets, both at ambient temperature and at high temperatures. Problems caused by heat or light emitted by the target can be eliminated or greatly reduced by using protective housings or fitting optical filters <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Position measurement on overhead cranes with anti-collision function<\/strong>. LDM family LASER distance meters allow real-time detection of position and distance on overhead cranes and gantry cranes, providing an anti-collision function. Fitting LASER distance meters also makes it possible to detect parallelism, or loss of synchronisation, between the two side beams. Position, distance or positioning differential can also be shown on large-format monitors, or alarms and control signals can be generated. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Supervision of railway infrastructure<\/strong>. Detection of the position and speed of trains and moving parts. The ability to measure distances of up to 3 km allows the detection of objects that travel over long distances or that must be intercepted at long range. The ability to work on very different surfaces, or with wide variations in colour and reflectivity, makes it possible to measure distance, position and speed even on objects that differ greatly from one another. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Measurement and control of the position, deformation and vibration of large structures, or of structures located at very long distances. <\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n LDM series industrial laser rangefinders are able to measure the distance between the sensor and almost any surface, whether solid or liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RODER SRL can provide all the support needed to integrate industrial LASER rangefinders into industrial settings or structural monitoring<\/strong>. All LASER rangefinders can be interfaced through a physical connection (copper cable or optical fiber) or through a wireless connection (Wi-Fi or proprietary radio link). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n RODER SRL can supply standard or customized software for the continuous monitoring of the physical quantities measured by industrial LASER rangefinders<\/strong>. The use of intelligent data loggers allows the monitored physical quantities to be checked even over long periods, and any anomalies to be communicated in real time, including remotely, through a web server or remote control systems. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n RODER SRL can supply not only the data acquisition and measurement archiving software but also all the hardware needed to build the final application<\/strong>. Single-channel and multi-channel data acquisition units, point-to-point acquisition systems and distributed control systems are available. Data from several distance meters can also be centralised on a single control and data archiving station. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n REDAM series remote display monitors for displaying data<\/strong> from industrial LASER rangefinders or from other related sensors (force sensors, strain sensors, anemometers, tensiometers, temperature meters, linear transducers, data acquisition systems). REDAM series monitors allow not only the real-time display of data but also the archiving of measurements, sorted by acquisition date, geographical area, production lot or acquisition batch. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n High-quality connecting cable for LDM41A and LDM42A laser distance sensors<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Wi-Fi transmission system for the remote transmission of LASER rangefinder data.<\/strong> The wireless interface allows the value measured by the sensor to be transmitted remotely and, where necessary, the sensor to be parameterized without direct access to the LASER rangefinder’s installation point.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n In some cases it is useful to reduce the signal level of the laser distance sensors to avoid measurement errors caused by overloading of the receiving diode. This depends on how strongly the target reflects the transmitted laser beam. The PHSS4x housing protects LDM4x series sensors from moisture and dirt<\/strong>. It is made of sturdy stainless steel and is perfectly suited to outdoor use. The window, which has been matched to the laser wavelength range, is easy to clean. The sensor’s serial programming interface is always available on an external port. The power supply and other signals are connected through a cable gland to an internal terminal block. The sensor can be mounted directly at the factory. Custom-built special versions are available on request. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n SLS series housings are designed specifically for use on particular LASER rangefinders or on triangulation sensors, to protect them from dust, vapor and fumes<\/strong>. A compressed-air pressurization duct keeps the operating temperature low and at the same time protects the LASER sensor optics from contaminants, fumes and vapor. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n LMI series housings are designed to protect LASER sensors<\/strong> where protection from dust or vapor is not the only requirement and the temperature must also be kept within a range that stabilizes sensor behavior even where thermal variation is wide.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n If LDM4x series laser distance sensors are to be used at high ambient temperatures, the water-cooled PHSS4x-w protective housing is used<\/strong>. It protects the sensor not only from heat but also from cold, moisture and dirt. A connection flange is provided for the programming interface. The power supply and other signals are connected through a feed-through cable. The housing is available with optional window heating, an air purge tube and a pan\/tilt mount. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n With the help of the mounting bracket, LDM4x and LDM30x series measuring instruments can be mounted easily and conveniently at the point of use<\/strong>. The angled construction makes it easier to align the laser beam afterwards over a 10\u00b0 range horizontally and vertically. The sensor’s visible laser beam also makes it possible to aim at remote targets. The sensor is adjusted on the bracket and secured with the four M6 screws supplied. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n PAX series displays are extremely versatile in use and provide useful additional functions.<\/strong> The PAXD shows analog input signals, for example the analog output of an LDM41A, on a five-digit display. The scaling factor can be adjusted directly on the device using the keys. The display is available with a sturdy steel housing rated IP 65 or for switchboard panel mounting. It can be supplied with additional functions, such as limit value monitoring or a serial interface. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n With the LDMTool software, all LDM series laser distance sensors that have a serial interface can be conveniently parameterized from a PC<\/strong>. A simple user interface displays all the available parameters of the currently connected sensor and all the measured values and the status of the various output signals. A terminal window has been implemented for direct communication. In addition, the full version of LDMTool provides a logging function (Log Window) and a graphical display (distance-time diagram). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The PT4x-AIR protective tube was developed to protect the optics of LDM4x series laser distance sensors from dirt and water in industrial environments<\/strong>. It is screwed directly onto the measuring instrument. Compressed air can be fed into the tube through the side fitting. The continuous air flow that develops keeps dirt particles and water droplets away from the lens system. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n LDM family industrial LASER rangefinders can be configured with an Ethernet or Ethernet\/IP communication interface for full integration into latest-generation automation systems or into PC-based computer systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n LDM family LASER rangefinders can be configured with an RS232 or RS422 communication interface for direct connection to PLCs or to data acquisition boards based on microprocessors or microcontrollers. The RS422 communication line allows remote connection of data acquisition systems even where there is strong environmental interference. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n LDM family industrial LASER rangefinders can be configured with a PROFINET communication interface for direct connection on production lines and plants that are based on the PROFINET communication standard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n LDM family LASER rangefinders can be configured with a PROFIBUS communication interface for direct connection on production lines and plants that are based on the PROFIBUS communication standard. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Copyright by RODER SRL – Oglianico (TO) – Italy Contact for general information : info@roder.it<\/a> The information contained in this website is provided for information purposes only.
