Operating principle of the NAV310
The NAV310 has an opto-electronic laser measurement system that electro-sensitively
scans the contour of its surroundings in a plane with the aid of laser beams. The NAV310
measures its surroundings in two-dimensional polar coordinates. If a measurement beam
is incident on an object, the position is determined in the form of distance, direction and
remission.

Measuring principle of the NAV310
From the propagation time that the light requires from emission to reception of the reflec--
tion at the sensor the NAV310 calculates the distance to the object.
