Function
The device consists of a laser, receiving optics and an integrated evaluation unit. The
laser emits a light beam which is reflected back to the receiving optics by the reflector.
The integrated evaluation unit determines the distance between the sensor and the
reflector using phase-correlated time-of-flight measurement.
For the measurement, either the reflector or the device can move in a linear fashion
along the laser beam.
The measured distance is transmitted via the data interface and can be used for
control purposes or in a position control loop, for example.
