Laser Distance­Gauging Sensors

Advanced time-of-flight technology at less cost

The L-GAGE® LT3 sensor uses “time-of-ight” technology
for precise, long-distance gauging at the speed of light.
The microprocessor-controlled laser distance-gauging
sensor features a unique design for exceptional accuracy
and range at a much lower cost than competitive laser­gauging devices. Precise performance and low price
make the LT3 an ideal solution for a variety of precision
inspection applications.

lUMINESCENCE

• Available in accurate diffuse-mode models with ranges
to 5 m and retroreflective models with a 50 m range

• Emits one million pulses per second

• Reliably detects angled targets

Analog & discrete outputs, or dual-discrete models

The LT3 can include both a discrete (switched) output
and an analog output in the same unit, with independently
programmable window limits. For added exibility, the
analog output is available in a choice of 4 to 20 mA
or 0 to 10V dc. You can also choose models with two
independent discrete outputs, selectable PNP (sourcing)
or NPN (sinking).

Compact, self-contained design

• The LT3’s design conserves production space and
decreases setup time.

• The self-contained system measures just 68.5 by 35.3
by 87.0 mm, to fit and function in tighter spaces than
competitive systems.

• Features an outstanding maximum resolution of 3 µm for

flat white targets

• Uses an ultra-narrow beam for applications requiring

precise measurement of distance, height or thickness as
well as gauging applications

• Lets you pick the exact range you need with the

push of a button

• Houses discrete (switched) and analog outputs in

the same unit, each independently programmable
