Functional Principle, Technical Data
2.1
Short Description
The optoCONTROL series CLS-K offers a sensor solution, with which the sensor and the probes are coupled
by fiber optics and thus arranged separately.
Therefore these optical micrometers are applicable with adverse surrounding conditions like high tempera-
tures, small mounting dimensions and bad accessibility in the plants.
The sensor consists of a compact transmission and reception unit for infrared light with an integrated signal
processing.
The transmission of the light to the target and back takes place by means of a high-quality fiber optics, which
works according to the principle of total reflection.

Measuring Principle
The sensor as measuring and testing amplifier with a double-armed fiber optics in the transmitted light mode
for intensity measurement, edge measurements and web edge controls with a resolution from > 0.1 mm and
a measuring frequency up to 4 kHz.
