Time-of-flight laser distance sensor Dilas FT4200

* Measurement up to 500 m, on product up to 1350 °C * Fast sampling time * Profibus-DP communication protocol * Design for steel industry conditions The Dilas FT4200 is a digital, high performance, non-contact laser measurement sensor. The target may be hot or cold, stationary or moving. Dilas FT4200 measures on all non-shiny surfaces. - Measurement range up to 500 m directly on the target - Measurement on hot products up to 1350 °C - High power infrared laser - Fast sampling time - Accuracy: ± 20 mm - Laser pointer (class 2M) - Sensor configuration with PC software - Autonomous sensor: ready to use, no calibration required - Water cooling and air purging for the steel industry The Dilas FT4200 can be easily configured for optimal measurement depending on the application. A configuration software running under Windows operating system is used to quickly and easily view the readings and the status of the sensor, and a graphical user interface makes it simple to setup the sensor. The sensor has a RS232C configuration port at the back of the sensor (M12 connector) and each sensor is delivered with cable including a 9 points sub D connector for direct connection to a PC. Presentation The Dilas FT4200 is an autonomous sensor mounted in cast aluminium housing. A hood for protecting the window glass is fitted with an air-jet facility to blow a vertical air curtain in front of this glass. The case is mounted on a cooling plate including a stainless steel pipe and fixed to a mounting stand, adjustable in two axes. The electrical connection is made via a connector. The sensor is delivered already equipped with the corresponding plug with silicone-armoured cable.
