Atlas
Specification

The ATLAS is a digital measurement sensor which enables you to measure distance, thickness, width, height, straightness, flatness, profiles and much more. It simplifies measurement by combining easy operator setup and flexible interface modules. Multi-sensor applications, which in the past would have required external processors and programming, are now done easily with the ATLAS using the on-board DSP and multi-drop RS485 capability, providing easy communication and math capabilities. The ATLAS also provides unrivaled real-time process monitoring. Immediate and precise feedback of process parameters allows corrections to be made quickly with minimal downtime. The pure digital signal processing from the CMOS-array through the DSP to the RS485 interface retains the quality of the measurements. Optional RS232, Profibus DP, analog or Ethernet UDP interfaces add versatility. The ATLAS sensors are especially suitable for automation and in-line production monitoring, paying in short time through improved production documentation and quality assurance.

Features/Benefits

 

 

In contrast to conventional laser sensors, the ATLAS sensors combine a high resolution CMOS line scan camera with DSP to provide pure digital acquisition and processing of measured values. This combination provides for a very stable output signal, regardless of surface conditions.

The ATLAS sensors can communicate directly via their RS485 interface, and compute results, e. g. material thickness, without a "third box”. The RS485 interface guarantees precise transmission in noisy industrial environments, even over long distances. A Windows® setup and softscope software allows full configuration of the ATLAS sensor parameters for special requirements.
