Question: What Advantages do Laser Tech Sensors Offer?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our lidar sensors offer low maintenance non-contact benefits with high accuracies, eliminate any need for reflectors, expand your workable ranges, use narrow beams, and include flexible configuration options.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Keep reading for more information on each of these 6 unique advantages<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Laser sensors bring advantages to several different fields<\/p><\/div>\n

1) Non-Contact\/Low maintenance<\/h2>\n

By nature, our non-contact lidar sensors create low maintenance benefits.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This advantage is a direct result of our sensors functioning as non-contact<\/strong> continuous measurement devices.<\/p>\n

Contact-sensor alternatives tend to require constant exposure to various materials and often install at the bottom of large tanks. Meanwhile, non-contact sensors tend to be installed in easy-to-access areas that avoid material exposure.<\/p>\n

Longer device lifespans<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Avoiding contact with materials means that our sensors perform longer.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Less corrosion<\/span><\/span>\n

  2. Less build ups\/clogs<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Easier to keep clean<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Keeping a clean sensor is a best practice made easier by non-contact performance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Less frequent cleaning required<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Typically limited to removing some dust<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Can often be completed via compressed air cans<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Easier to access<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

      Contrary to contact sensors, our sensors are commonly located near or on a tank’s lid or hatch.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      Non-contact lidar sensors can be installed in easier-to-access locations that complement worker safety<\/p><\/div>\n

        \n
      1. Faster access for repairs and cleaning<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Easy to remove and reinstall when needed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Safer to access<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

        Thanks to the easier access that our sensors tend to create, some safety hazards can be eliminated.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Avoid workers coming into contact with materials<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Remove risk of injury from climbing into tanks, entering production machinery, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          2) High Accuracy<\/h2>\n

          Integrators can expect high accuracy from all Laser Tech sensors.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          All of our non-contact continuous measurement laser sensors offer high accuracy. Reliable accuracies are offered at varying intensities\u00a0across our different types of sensors.<\/p>\n

          Reminder: S200 series is ideal for solids while the S300 series is ideal for liquids.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
