The optoNCDT ILR1171-125 laser distance sensor is used for distance measurements up to 270 m. Due to the laser time-of-flight principle with infrared light and a measuring rate of up to 40 kHz, high energy pulses are achieved, which enable stable measurements with very good signal quality. It also compensates better for disturbing influences such as fog or rain. The high temperature stability enables applications at temperatures from -40 °C to +60 °C. Its compact dimensions allow integration into the smallest installation spaces.
