Wenglor CP08MHT80 Laser Distance Sensor High Precision

The Wenglor CP08MHT80 Laser Distance Sensor High Precision is a compact and highly versatile triangulation sensor designed for microscopic accuracy in constrained industrial spaces. Utilizing high-resolution CMOS line technology, this sensor offers a working range of 20 to 80 mm, delivering exceptionally stable measured values regardless of the object’s color or surface texture.

Description

Superior CMOS Triangulation Performance

The Wenglor CP08MHT80 Laser Distance Sensor High Precision operates using the advanced principle of laser triangulation. By projecting a red laser light onto an object and analyzing the reflection with a high-resolution CMOS line array, the sensor calculates distance with sub-millimeter precision. This technology ensures that measurements remain consistent even when targeting dark, glossy, or multi-colored surfaces that typically challenge standard sensors.

Seamless Integration and Intelligent Control

Beyond its physical compactness, this sensor is built for the future of manufacturing. It supports IO-Link version 1.1, allowing for simplified configuration, remote diagnostics, and easy device replacement. The sensor also provides a 0…10 V analog output and a programmable switching output, giving engineers the flexibility to use it for both continuous distance monitoring and discrete object detection. With a fast response time and a high switching frequency of 1000 Hz, the CP08MHT80 is optimized for rapid production cycles.
