New Laser Distance Meters LUMOS for measurement on hot surfaces by Jenoptik

Jenoptik introduces the new LUMOS Laser distance meters which are particularly suitable for distance measurement on hot surfaces such as  glowing steel, and for outdoor use in bright lighting conditions.

The new LUMOS laser sensors measure and monitor distances up to 500 meters – accurate to the millimeter. Of compact design, they work with visible red laser light at the wavelength of 635 nanometers. A special measuring procedure facilitates reliable measurement, notably, on hot surfaces and in environments with a high percentage of stray light/constant light. Generally, almost any natural surface, including liquids, can be a suitable measuring target.

Typical applications of LUMOS-series distance measuring devices are the measurement and tracking of the positions and physical dimensions of goods and semifinished products, for example, in the steel working industry, in rolling mills and in general automation engineering. LUMOS sensors are also capable of monitoring the fill level or position of conveyor or feeder systems.
