Best in Class:
Compact, precise and faster
The optoNCDT 1x20 laser sensors are among the best in their
class. The sensors offer a unique combination of speed, size and
performance. The laser sensors are used for the precise measurement
of displacement, distance and position in all fields of automation
technology, such as machine building, 3D printers and robotics.

The optoNCDT 1x20 sensors use an intelligent surface control feature.

The Active Surface Compensation (ASC) ensures stable measurement
results regardless of changing colors or brightness of the target
surface.

Ideal for industrial series applications

Different output signals enable the sensor to be integrated into plant
and machine control systems. As well as analog voltage and current
outputs, a digital RS422 interface provides distance information from
the sensor.

Due to the universal setting and evaluation possibilities, the optoNCDT

1x20 sensors meet all the requirements for use in industrial series and
OEM applications.

optoNCDT 1420CL1 10 - 50 mm 0.5 µm from 0.08 %

Highest precision in a minimum of space

Compact size combined with low weight opens up new fields of
application. The selectable connector type, i.e. cable or pigtail,
together with compact size reduce the sensor installation effort to
a minimum.

Now even more powerful!

The optoNCDT 1x20 sensors have been optimized for industrial
series use. Furthermore, the robust IP67 sensor housing allows
use in industrial environments, even with high accelerations. A
high-performance D/A converter enables 16 bit resolution at the
analog output. Therefore, the sensor achieves even more precise
measurement results. With the doubled measuring rate, even
faster measurements can now be performed.
