LDM42EI
Precise, robust and flexible
The LDM42EI is an optoelectronic distance measuring device for industrial applications with EtherNet/IP interface.
It works contact-free on the principle of comparative phase measurement (amplitude modulation) and facilitates precisely accurate measurement of distances.

LDM42EI
The LDM42EI distinguish itself through high precision as well as high independence from the surface of the measuring object. The red, well visible laser beam allows for easy alignment. The LDM42EI has been further developed for fast distance measurements on white surfaces. Through the integrated EtherNet/IP interface it is possible to easily read in data of several devices into a PLC with Ethernet/IP capabilities.
