In order to be able to operate the highly dynamic laser triangulation sensor Opto NCDT 2300 with an analog output, Micro-Epsilon presents the C-Box: The compact external controller is used for fast D / A conversion or for the synchronous processing of two sensor signals. The high-end triangulation displacement sensor is designed for the precise measurement of fast objects. The sensor is used to measure the path of diffuse reflective materials and shiny, porous or rough surfaces.
Principle of operation Laser triangulation
In addition, the Opto NCDT 2300 is suitable for one-sided thickness measurement of transparent materials. The previously available digital interfaces Ethernet, RS422 and Ethercat are now being expanded by the new controller to include an analog output. The C-Box is compact electronics that are used for fast D / A conversion of a digital input signal or for processing two digital sensor signals. The D / A conversion takes place with 16 bits and a maximum of 70 kHz. The C-Box offers four outputs: a configurable analog output, Ethernet, RS422 and USB. The C-Box and the connected sensors are parameterized and operated via the Ethernet web interface. In addition to averaging and statistical functions, thickness, diameter, step or inclination can be calculated.
