The Laser Advantage

The ultimate solution for industrial process challenges, Optech’s laser rangefinders exploit the unique properties of light to produce precise, reliable, fast measurements. High update rates provide accurate measurements even when objects move quickly or material levels change rapidly. "Last-pulse logic" and internal windowing software filter out any false returns from obstacles passing between the rangefinder and the object or material.

Optech Technology

• Rapid measurements, up to 15 readings per second


• Accurate, with absolute accuracies of 2-4 cm depending on the model


• Non-contact, non-intrusive measurements


• Measure through moderate amounts of dust by using advanced software


• Narrow beam divergence for long-range tracking of small targets, accurate unit location/alignment, and to aim past obstacles
  
  

Laser Measurements Are Unaffected By…

• Moderate amount of dust


• Mounting angle or orientation


• High temperature or temperature variations


• Background noise


• Vehicle vibration


• Vapor pressure


• Off-gas layers or steam


• Vacuum barriers


• Low dielectric constant of material

Watchman Series

The Watchman series of non-contact object positioners measures reliably in extreme conditions and at long ranges of up to 250 meters, or 1,500 meters with a co-operative target (using reflectors). High-speed data acquisition technology tracks fast-moving objects accurately even at long range.

The Watchman 3000 Object Positioners include the following units:

• 3100: Standard object positioner, optimized for long-range applications (greater than 25 m)


• 3310/3315: Extends operating temperature to 100°C/150°C.
