Optex TOF-L Series - Long Distance Laser Sensor

This compact long distance laser sensor uses time of flight technology to detect presence of a target from as far as 4.5 meters from the target. The TOF-L series has a very stable and repeatable detection allowing for detection of different reflective material at the same distance while ignoring background.

• World's smallest time of flight sensor with amplifier built in for mounting in really tight spaces 
• Long distance detection with up to 4.5 meter range 
• Bright visible class I laser light source 
• Very stable detection on a variety of materials and reflectivities 
• Variety of configurations to choose from including dual output, M8, M12, and integral cable options

Time of Flight Principle

The TOF principle takes the measurement of the time it takes a pulse-emitted laser to hit a target and return and uses it to calculate distance. This provides strong resistance to influences from the target's surface conditions and produces stable detection.

Stable detection even with glossy or low-reflectance workpieces

By relying on distance from a workpiece, rather than differences in the amount of light received, the TOF-L series is capable of long-distance detection with a variety of workpieces.

Stable detection even when determining level differences

The TOF-L series is capable of low hysteresis for white objects and delivers level-difference detection from remote locations. The sensors also reduce black/white errors without sacrificing detection accuracy.
