optoNCDT 1420CL1 Micro-Epsilon is offering a new version of its optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensor, which is used to measure displacement, distance and position, such as on robotic arms performing pick-and-place operations.
What's new? A Class 1 laser rating, which means that the device's maximum radiated power is 390 microwatts. The original version has a Class 2 laser.
Benefits Safety and cost savings. The optoNCDT 1420CL1 does not require the costly protective measures for users that are necessary with a Class 2 laser. The new rating also allows manufacturers to meet stringent safety requirements common in the automotive industry.
