The third-generation of CyberOptics Corp.’s intelligent noncontact laser triangulation sensors, DRS digital range sensors, were launched March 11 and exhibited for the first time at NMW in Chicago.

With simple point resolutions ranging from 0.125 to 4.0 microns, and accuracy to 1 micron, DRS provides precise and repeatable measurement data for process control, profiling, or positioning applications. The DRS is controlled by a Windows-based PC with a plug-in ISA card, or via a CyberOptics sensor controller.

Unlike traditional laser triangulation sensors, DRS sensors can analyze input variations and adjust to obtain accurate information, even from reflective, translucent, or multicolored surfaces. As a result, DRS sensors can be fixtured for lab use or incorporated into automated, integrated systems to provide in-line process control, dimensional inspection, position verification, thickness measurement, in-process gaging, or dimensional profiling.
