1. What is a laser displacement sensor?
Laser displacement sensors are sensors that use laser skills to measure. It consists of a laser, a laser detector, and a measurement circuit. Laser sensors are the new type of measurement. It can accurately measure the orientation, displacement and other changes of the measured object non-touch.
It can measure displacement, thickness, oscillation, spacing, diameter and other fine measurements. The laser has the excellent characteristics of good straightness, and the same laser displacement sensor has higher accuracy than the ultrasonic sensor we know. However, the laser generation equipment is relatively complex and large, so the application scale of the laser displacement sensor is more demanding.
2. Classification of the working principle and characteristics of laser displacement sensors
(1) Working principle: The laser displacement sensor can accurately measure the azimuth, displacement and other changes of the measured object without touch, and is mainly used to detect the displacement, thickness, oscillation, spacing, diameter and other measurements of the object.
According to the measurement principle, the principle of laser displacement sensor is divided into laser triangulation measurement method and laser echo analysis method, laser triangulation measurement method is generally suitable for high-precision, short interval measurement, and laser echo analysis method is used for long-distance measurement, the following are two measurement methods of laser displacement sensor principle.
Trigonometry
The laser emitter shoots the visible red laser to the surface of the measured object through the lens, and the laser scattered by the surface of the object passes through the receiver lens and is accepted by the internal CCD linear camera, which can "see" this light point under different viewpoints according to different intervals. Based on this viewpoint and the known interval between the laser and the camera, the DSP calculates the interval between the sensor and the object being measured.
At the same time, the beam is simulated and digitally processed in the orientation of the receiving element, and analyzed by the microprocessor to calculate the corresponding output value, and output the standard data signal proportionally within the user-set imitation amount window. If a switching output is used, it is turned on within the set window and cut off outside the window. In addition, the analog and switching outputs can be set independently of the detection window.
The maximum linearity of the laser displacement sensor using the triangulation measurement method can reach 1um, and the resolution can reach the level of 0.1um. For example, ZLDS100 type of sensor, it can achieve 0.01% high resolution, 0.1% high linearity, 9.4KHz high response, and adapt to harsh environments.
Echo analysis
Laser displacement sensors use the principle of echo analysis to measure the interval to achieve a certain degree of accuracy. The inside of the sensor is composed of a processor unit, an echo processing unit, a laser emitter, a laser receiver and other parts. The laser displacement sensor emits one million laser pulses per second through the laser emitter to the detector and returns to the receiver, and the processor calculates the time it takes for the laser pulse to meet the detector and return to the receiver to calculate the interval value, which is the output of the average of thousands of measurements. This is the so-called pulse moment method. The laser echo analysis method is suitable for long-interval detection, but the measurement accuracy is lower than that of the laser triangulation method, and the farthest detection interval can reach 250m.
(2) Product characteristics: laser LED, visible light, reflective grade is divided into 2 levels
