Shiny metal surfaces, varying surface textures and tight tolerances: industrial distance measurement is not always straightforward. The new green laser variants of the Baumer OM60 family offer a solution for these challenging applications.
When designing a machine or planning in-process quality inspection, the surface matters as much as the dimension being measured. A shiny or textured workpiece can behave differently from a reference target. That is why the sensor should be selected around the requirements of the actual application.
Precise measurement on challenging surfaces
Baumer positions its green laser OM60 variants for distance measurement on challenging surfaces. The OM60 family combines precision and repeatability with a design that supports mechanical and thermal stability.
Key benefits include:
- Measurement performance on challenging surfaces: OM60 is worth considering for applications involving shiny or textured workpieces.
- Precision and repeatability: for position and dimensional inspection tasks, with a variant selected to suit the application.
- Stable construction: a design developed to support mechanical and thermal stability.
- Straightforward parameterization: Baumer Sensor Suite helps users configure sensors in the OM60 family.
Achievable measurement performance depends on the selected variant, measuring range, workpiece surface and installation conditions. The right solution must always be selected for the specific measurement task.
