Displacement / Distance Sensors
Scantron are able to offer a range of distance measurement solutions based on varying technologies. With distances ranging from <1mm to over 100m, we can provide a suitable sensor for your distance or displacement requirements.
| Sensor Type | Application |
| LAP ATLAS | Laser triangulation with short standoff (10 to 100mm) |
| LAP POLARIS | Laser triangulation with typical standoff (10 to 400mm) |
| LAP ANTARIS | Laser triangulation with long standoff (350 to 4000mm) for hot materials |
| Philtec Fibre Optic Displacement Sensors | Measurement over very small distances for low clearance applications |
| Scantron SLS | Very long standoff measurement up to 30 metres |
Options Available:Comparison Table – Sensor Type
| Distance (mm) | Technology | Output | Comments |
| 0.76~75 | Fibre Optic Sensors | Analogue: 4~20mA Digital: RS232 or USB | Electronics separate to sensor tip D series: output proportional to the target gap and also proportional to changes in reflectivity of the target surface RC series: output signal proportional to the target gap only |
| 10~4,000 | Laser Triangulation | Analogue: 4~20mA RC series: output signal proportional to the target gap only | Enclosed package |
