SICK Non-contact motion sensors SPEETEC 1D

The wear-and-tear and maintenance-free SPEETEC 1D laser surface motion sensor detects the movements of object surfaces without contacting them. This detection requires no scale or measuring elements. The laser Doppler effect based technology enables the SPEETEC 1D to measure the speed, length, movement direction and position of objects on almost any surfaces. The non-contact measurement method used by the sensor makes it particularly suitable for applications with soft or sensitive surfaces that would be damaged by tactile measurement. The SPEETEC 1D is also ideal for encoder applications with fast and dynamic processes that are unsuitable for encoders. The sensor can be monitored and logic functions configured via an interface.
