Acuity AS2100 Laser Distance Sensor

Click2Contact

The Acuity AS2100 is a highly accurate laser distance sensor designed to work well outdoors, in bright light and on difficult targets such as dark, hot and textured surfaces. It is designed to take accurate measurements (±1 mm) from distances up to 500 m with a measurement frequency of up to 250 Hz.

The AS2100 distance sensor with a Class 2 red visible laser diode can measure natural targets up to 100 m with the spot size from 4 mm to about 50 mm and reflective targets up to 500 m. It can communicate using RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial protocols by adjusting a single parameter. The AS2100 also comes with standard, 4–20 mA current loop output and a built-in USB connection option for easy testing and troubleshooting.

The Acuity AS2100 laser distance sensor has a wide range of applications. Metal production applications include steel and aluminium production, for controlling fill level for steel and iron, cut-to-length applications and dimensional measurements of hot materials.

Materials handling applications include crane, trolley and lift positioning and ASRS/AGV applications. AS2100 sensors also find application in fill level measurement applications, including silo level measurements.

Process control applications include cut-to-length measurements (steel and timber industries), diameter and width measurements of rolls (paper and steel) and length/width positioning measurements for sorting applications.
