Accurate measurement
27 December 2014
New from SICK, the Profiler 2 is a short range distance sensor for accurate measurement of 2D profiles, shapes and surfaces that combines a high-performance resolution of 2 microns with a wide measurement range.

The SICK Profiler 2 delivers plug-and-play performance suited to production line quality inspection programmes in the robotics, automotive and electronics industries. Its ability to measure complex profiles with just one laser line, and analyse up to four areas at once, saves on hardware costs and installation time.
"There are many applications where the production engineer doesn’t need full 3D profiling, yet requires more than a single point distance measurement,” says SICK (UK) imaging and measurement systems specialist Neil Sandhu. "The Profiler 2 combines sensor and evaluation in a single, easy to mount unit, without the need for an amplifier, monitor or another device needing additional cabling."
