LDS10A

LED Distance Sensor

The LDS10A is an optoelectronic distance sensor for a wide range of industrial applications.
It works contact-free with use of harmless invisible LED-lighting and performs with a new unique sensing technology based on time-of-flight principle and sophisticated signal processing algorithms.


Function

The LDS10A is the basic type of ASTECHs new distance sensor series. Its extremely simple and robust design enables the LDS10A to realize distance sensing and presence detection applications with an unbeaten Price-Performance ratio.


Applications
  • Distance sensing on natural solid surfaces up to 10 m
  • Object presence detection
  • Fill level measurement
  • Area intrusion surveillance
  • Hot metal detection up to 1200 °C
  • Storage box allocation monitoring
  • Stack height observation
  • Traffic surveillance
  • Vehicle dimension monitoring

Features

  • Reflector-less distance sensing on various surfaces
  • Safe operation even in public places by LED-lighting (No laser)
  • Unbeaten Price-Performance-Ratio
  • One connection cable for supply voltage, serial data interface, switching and analogue output
  • Customized parameterization via PC
  • Programmable analogue and digital interfaces
  • Robust, compact housing, easy to install
  • Protection standard IP 67
