Laser Distance Meter

• Measurement up to 30 m directly on the target
• High accuracy independent of the distance
• Design for steel industry conditions

Dilas FT2000

Features and benefits

The Dilas FT2000 is a digital, high resolution, non-contact laser measurement sensor.
The target may be hot or cold, stationary or moving. Dilas FT2000 measures on all non-shiny surfaces.

• Measurement range up to 30 m directly on the surface, up to 100 m with white surface or reflecting foils.
• High accuracy: ± 3 mm up to 30 m.
• 1 mW visible laser beam (class 2).
• Integrated 4 digits display.
• Sensor configuration with PC software.
• Autonomous sensor: ready to use, no calibration required.
• Water cooling and air purging for the steel industry.

Typical applications

Billet - Bloom length measurement	Stop position measurement
Slab Position control	Length - Width measurement
Position control	Coil position - Coil width and diameter measurement
Tube diameter measurement	Charging of billet - Position control

Presentation

The Dilas FT2000 is an autonomous sensor mounted in cast aluminium housing.
A hood for protecting the window glass is fitted with an air-jet facility to blow a vertical air curtain in front of this glass. The case is mounted on a cooling plate including a stainless steel pipe and fixed to a mounting stand, adjustable in two axes. The electrical connection is made via a connector. The sensor is delivered already equipped with the corresponding plug with silicone-armoured cable (2 m standard length).
A digital display at the rear of the sensor indicates the measured distance.

Operating principle

The operation of the Dilas FT2000 is based on time of flight measurement. The sensor calculates the distance of the target surface using the time of flight of visible laser light pulses.
