Series VDM 100 laser distance measurement
devices are designed for high distances.
They have a repeat accuracy of 0.5 mm. SSI
and fieldbusses are used as value interfaces.
These devices are used for precise positioning of rack operating units, gantry cranes,
rail-bound vehicles, elevators and other linear
movable units.
