LDS11A
Product announcement - Available from Q3 - 2025
The LDS11A is an optoelectronic distance sensor for a wide range of industrial applications. It works contact-free with harmless infrared laser light and performs with a new unique sensing technology based on a multi-pixel time-of-flight sensor and sophisticated signal processing algorithms. The flexible interface system with analog and digital outputs as well as serial configuration via RS232 makes the LDS11A easy to install and reduces the time to get a working application.
