Banner Engineering L-GAGE LTF Series laser sensors feature time-of-flight technology. The laser measurement sensor ensures accurate distance measurements out to a distance of 12 m. By emitting a pulsed light, the LTF measures the amount of time for the light to reflect off the object and return to the sensor to calculate the distance. This enables sensing in long-range applications, including loop control, part presence or absence and fill level.

Designed with a Class 2 laser emitter with small, highly visible spot, the LTF provides easy sensor alignment and high excess gain. The same sensor that provides repeatability of less than 3 mm and accuracy of ±10 mm can also detect dark targets past 7 m and white targets at 12 m.

In addition to precision distance measurement, the LTF delivers consistent detection of targets regardless of the angle, environmental conditions or ambient light. The dynamically adjusted laser sensor can also sense objects with varying materials and shapes. The laser power increases output for dark targets or objects at steep angles, while reducing power for shiny targets.

Users can also select from several teach modes, including 2-point teach, mid-point teach, switch-point teach and push-button adjust, to accommodate diverse applications.

Featuring a 2-line, 8-character display, the LTF makes adjustments and menu navigation simple and easy to read. Additionally, the bright LED indicators provide clear status indication for analog output, discrete output and power.

To satisfy applications in harsh environmental conditions, the LTF features durable IP67-rated die-cast zinc housing.
