A Brief Definition Laser triangulation is a non-contact, optical measurement method that uses geometric relationships in a triangle to determine the distance or profile of an object. It works by measuring the angle of incidence and reflection of a laser beam.
What is Optical Data Transmission? The ST100 Series Optical Data Transmission Sensor is an optical data transmission module that uses spatial light as the transmission medium. Its core components include optics, mechanics, circuitry, and software systems. During operation, the sensor converts the data stream from the host computer into laser pulse signals, which are emitted outward by the laser emitter. These laser pulses propagate through free space to the receiver. The receiver detects the...
Nowadays, industrial automation is developing rapidly, and with it, the importance of safety systems is growing. One of the key elements of these systems is the OSSD, or Output Signal Switching Device. Many people encounter this term when installing or configuring safety curtains, sensors, or optical barriers, but they don't always know exactly what OSSD is and what its functions are.
The modern woodworking industry requires not only artistic flair but also the highest technological precision. Customers expect perfect joints, serial repeatability, and complex designs that are beyond the reach of traditional methods. The key to meeting these requirements is advanced CNC machines, and at their heart – reliable measurement systems. In this article, we examine magnetic measurement encoders, which are revolutionizing woodworking standards.
