New LM sensor for precise applications The LM series of precision measurement sensors fromTurck Banner is now available in a more precise model that features a 0.002 mm analogue resolution at a range of 40 to 80 mm. The new LM80 model also features a smaller spot size (less than 1 mm at all measurement ranges) to detect smaller features and take more measurements over the face of the target for more precise profiling.

locations can be monitored easily, or it can be removed after configuration. For more information contact BrandonTopham at Turck Banner. Tel: +27 (0)11 453 2468, email: brandon.topham@turckbanner.co.za

With IO-Link communication, users can monitor sensor performance remotely, identify and analyse trends in inspection results easily, and predict when maintenance is needed so that problems like a dirty lens can be resolved before sensor failure. Featuring a fast 0.5 ms response speed and 0.25 ms sampling rate, LM sensors reliably solve high-speed applications with fast-moving targets. The sensors provide discrete, analogue and IO-Link capabilities all in one device, which makes for flexibility and reduces inventory requirements. They also offer the advantage of quick setup and replacement. LM sensors can be programmed via IO-Link or an optional remote sensor display (RSD). The RSD enables remote setup and monitoring and stores up to six configurations to facilitate product changeover and simplify device replacement. The RSD can remain in-line so that sensors in difficult-to-reach

The new LM80 sensors provide for high precision measurement on the production line.

LM sensors provide reliable quality control and repeatable measurements of real-world targets with varying colours and reflectivity. In addition, LM sensors feature a thermally stable design that resists temperature changes as well as enhanced mounting stability for high accuracy in the toughest environments. The new LM80 has a temperature effect of +/- 0.006 mm/°C. This is important for high precision applications as even a few degrees of temperature change can cause measurement errors to double on some sensors.
