MiniLaser Laser Level Monitor

Non-Contact Laser Sensing Technology

The MiniLaser Laser Level/Distance Measurement Instrument is designed for mobile and stationary level and distance measurement in harsh industrial environments.

The MiniLaser operates on a comparative phase measurement principle. To achieve this, it emits a visible laser beam of different frequencies. 

The target surface being measured returns diffusely reflected light that is then compared with a reference signal. Finally, a microprocessor uses the recorded phase shift and calculates the distance with to within an accuracy of 0.04 (1 mm).

The sensor of the MiniLaser distinguishes itself through a high precision as well as a big independence of the surface of the measured object. The red, well visible laser beam allows a simple alignment.
