Compact Long-range TOF Sensors TOF-L Series

Compact Long-range TOF Sensors TOF-L Series

TOF (Time Of Flight) principle

The TOF principle measures the time it takes a pulse-emitted laser to hit a target and return, and the measurement is then converted into distance.
With strong resistance to influences from the target’s surface conditions, this principle is capable of producing stable detection.

he Compact TOF Sensor

At just 17 × 32.8 × 44.4 (W × D × H) mm, the TOF-L Series photoelectric sensor is compact design TOF sensor. In addition to measuring only about one-fourth the volume of conventional sensors for significantly more compactness, the TOF-L is capable of long-distance detection at distances up to 4.5 m.

Capable of stable detection even over long distances

Stable detection even with glossy or low-reflectance work pieces

By relying on distance to a work piece rather than differences in the amount of received light for turning ON/OFF, the TOF-L Series makes it possible to achieve stable long-distance detection with a variety of work pieces, including low-reflectivity targets such as black rubber and glossy targets such as metal work pieces.
