Typical areas of application for the ODSL 30
3.2.1 Continuous distance measurement
All ODSL 30 variants with analog, digital or switching outputs are ideally suited for continuous distance
measurement. The menu-guided configuration via membrane keyboard and LC display on the device
without additional software permits the adaptation to a large number of applications.
Depending on arrangement and settings of the ODSL 30, various applications are possible:
• Positioning of side-tracking skates, cranes, lifting devices
• Contour determination through controlled passing movement of an object through the beam of the
ODSL 30.
• Volume measuring by taking measurements on two levels with simultaneous movement of the
object.
• Diameter determination, e.g., on paper rolls.
• Measuring the thickness of planks with two opposing sensors and a differential of the two measured
values.
3.2.2 Positioning tasks
The ODSL 30 variants with analog output and/or up to three teachable switching outputs are ideally suited
for basic positioning tasks, such as the height/level adjustment of lifting tables and lifting platforms.
The ODSL 30 is mounted in a way to enable positioning in the direction of the measurement beam.

3.2.3 Collision protection
The ODSL 30 is ideally suited to be used as collision protection device:
• Distance regulation via the analog output of the ODSL 30
• Collision prevention via the switching outputs of the ODSL 30
