Speed, precision & accuracy
05 November 2013
With the new OD Mini short range distance sensor, Sick claims to have delivered one of the most lightweight and precise displacement sensors incorporating an easy-to-use display and control.
The Sick OD Mini achieves micron resolution and millisecond responsiveness in a rugged, compact and lightweight unit, making it suited to precision measurement and positioning applications where high levels of accuracy are demanded, especially at high speeds, for example for positioning of robotic gripper arms, or in precision machining.
The product’s high performance measurement capability also means it can be used for quality duties such as inspection of manufacturing tolerances, and even for sorting and classification.
