optoCONTROL 1220

The online micrometer optoCONTROL ODC 1220 is designed for measuring edges, diameters and gaps of up to 2,000mm. A high precision lens is used to project uniformly-collimated light onto a receiver unit. When the light beam is interrupted by an edge or a gap (diameter), the shadow edges are projected onto a CCD receiver. The 28mm measuring range and a new, complex sub-pixeling method help to achieve an average resolution of 2 micrometers. The typical temperature range in factories enables a stable repeatability of avg. ±4 micrometers.

Software parameterization makes it possible to configure values such as left/right edge, center, gap width, as well as any analog and digital interface values. A data logging feature is included to record analyzes over a number of days. Each value within the measuring range can be taught using the smallest resolution interval. It can then be output as a function, with internal, upward or downward deviations, and displayed as switching state using the sensor LEDs.

The ‘Teach In’ feature is used to teach new edge values to the sensor itself. The sensor and the large measuring distance of up to 2m ensure that even warm targets can be measured in the process without impacting the electronics. An optional mounting frame is available for a robust installation.
