New Laser Sensor Accurately Measures Distances to Difficult Surfaces or Target Objects Up to 150 Metres Away

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has introduced a non-contact laser distance sensor that measures distances up to 150 m with an accuracy of < ± 1 mm. The sensor measures accurately even on difficult surfaces such as dark, structured or weakly reflecting objects. Without any special adaptations to the target, the sensor has an impressive range up to 100 m. Adding a reflector to the target extends the range to 150 m.
