LDM42P

Precise, robust and flexible
The LDM42P is an optoelectronic distance measuring device for industrial applications with integrated Profibus DP interface. It works contact-free on the principle of comparative phase measurement (amplitude modulation) and facilitates precisely accurate measurement of distances onto nearly any solid natural surface.

LDM42P
The LDM42P distinguishes itself through high precision as well as high independence from the surface of the measuring object. The red, well visible laser beam allows an easy alignment.
Through the integrated Profibus DP interface it is possible to read in data of several devices into a control easily.
