The TOF distance sensor offers precise and stable measurements with a detection range of 50mm to 2000mm, utilizing Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology. Its small, non-diffusing point laser ensures high accuracy across a variety of materials. Featuring both NPN and PNP output types, this SUCH sensor is versatile and suitable for different system configurations. One-touch intelligent calibration allows easy switching between normally open and normally closed states, making the distance sensor ideal for a range of applications requiring both performance and ease of use.
A TOF (Time-of-Flight) distance sensor is a device that measures distance by calculating the time it takes for a light pulse to travel to an object and return. By emitting a light signal and recording the time it takes for the signal to bounce back, the sensor can determine how far away the object is. It is commonly used for precise measurements in robotics, automation, and other distance-based applications.
The sensor works by sending out a light pulse (usually infrared or laser light) towards an object. When the pulse hits the object, it reflects back to the sensor. The sensor measures the time it took for the pulse to travel to the object and back. Using this time (the "time-of-flight") and the known speed of light, the sensor calculates the distance to the object.
If the sensor detects an object outside its specified detection range, it may either provide an inaccurate reading or fail to detect the object entirely. The sensor will likely signal an error or indicate that the object is out of range. To ensure accurate measurement, it's important to keep objects within the sensor's specified detection limits.
