February, 2015, MARIETTA, GA - Acuity AR2000 laser distance meters are specialized for distance measurement on hot surfaces, e.g. red hot, glowing steel, and for outdoor use in bright lighting conditions with high constant or stray light levels.

Suitable measurement targets can be almost any natural surface including liquids or reflectors. Within a range of 550 yards or 500 meters AR2000-Series laser sensors provide an absolute measurement accuracy of 1 mm and a measurement frequency of up to 100 Hz. For convenient data display and parameterization Acuity AR2000 sensors are equipped with an OLED display and touch keys.

Due to their standard interfaces, Acuity sensors are optimized for easy integration into industrial automation and measurement systems.

Benefits:

•  Broad measuring range & millimeter accuracy

• Outdoor measurement in bright lighting conditions

• Distance measurement on hot surfaces

• Visible measuring beam (red) Class 2

• Industrial standard interfaces

• Digital & analog data output, trigger functionality

• Device control via OLED display and touch keys

Applications:

• Non-contact distance measurement & tracking

• Steel working industry & rolling mills

• Positioning: transportation, handling & conveying systems

• Measurement of filling levels, object thickness & length

• Industrial automation and process control

General Information:

• The AR2000 distance meter is available in different versions

• Types can be selected based on the required interface and on the temperature conditions at the place of application

• AR2000 versions designed for an operating temperature of as low as – 40 °C can be used for applications outdoors or in refrigerated warehouses

• The required connecting cables are available with straight and angular plug-in connectors

• In order to prevent the direct incidence of extraneous light into the device optics, a light protector is available as well that can be screwed onto the device

• Devices with a cable length of up to 10 m are demonstrably EMC-safe
