Laser Triangulation Sensors. RF602 Series
RF602 [Revision 1.2.0] 28.01.2019
1. Safety precautions
·
Use supply voltage and interfaces indicated in the sensor specifications.
·
In connection/disconnection of cables, the sensor power must be switched off.
·
Do not use sensors in locations close to powerful light sources.
·
To obtain stable results, wait about 20 minutes after sensor activation to achieve
uniform sensor warm-up.
2. CE сompliance
The sensors have been developed for use in industry and meet the requirements of
the following Directives:
·
EU directive 2014/30/EU. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
·
EU directive 2011/65/EU, “RoHS“ category 9.
3. Laser safety
The sensors make use of an c.w. 660 nm (or 405 nm or 450 nm) wavelength
semiconductor laser. Maximum output power is 1 mW. The sensors belong to the 2 laser
safety class. The following warning label is placed on the sensor body:
The following safety measures should be taken while operating the sensor:
·
Do not target the laser beam to humans.
·
Do not disassemble the sensor.
·
Avoid staring into the laser beam.
4. General information
The sensors are intended for non-contact measuring and checking of position,
displacement, dimensions, surface profile, deformation, vibrations, sorting and sensing of
technological objects as well as for measuring levels of liquid and bulk materials.
The series includes 6 models of sensors with the measurement range from 10 to
500 mm and the base distance from 20 to 105 mm.
There are two options of laser mounted in the sensor: RED laser (660 nm) or BLUE
laser (405 or 450 nm). The use of blue lasers instead of conventional red lasers greatly
enhances capabilities of the sensors, in particular, for such uses as control of high-
temperature objects and organic materials.
