In
order to limit the effects of signal noise, all laser measurement
sensors perform an internal sampling (sometimes called
integration or averaging). During sampling, sensors take
multiple readings and average them, resulting in smoother,
less error-prone outputs. In order to achieve higher resolutions,
more samples must be integrated. For other manufacturers,
that increase in samples also increases the response time.
In short, other manufacturer's response times increase
proportionally with any improvement in resolution. While
1 µm is possible with other manufacturers, it comes
with a response time as slow as 100 ms - rarely usable
in a dynamic application.
The
Baumer Electric OADM's stated <900 µs response
time is an absolute high, regardless of resolution
and target color. The OADM will even perform at this
speed on matte black targets. In fact, on an ideal
target (matte white ceramic) response times can be
as fast as 250 µs with no decrease in resolution!
Thanks to an advanced receiving element capable of
sub-pixel resolution as well as intelligent microprocessors,
the OADM family from Baumer Electric offers consistent
response times at all resolutions.
