LAT 52 distance sensor: Optimal distance measure solution for automation!

The di-Soric LAT 52 sensor is a popular choice for TR customers because of its excellent performance in precise distance measurement, especially in automation applications. In industries where even the smallest distance changes matter—such as assembly processes or when robots are adjusting their speed while gripping objects—the LAT 52 provides the accuracy needed to keep production running smoothly.?

Precision Measurement in Small Distances?

The LAT 52 laser distance sensor can quickly detect the smallest changes in distance with very high accuracy. It can measure in the sub-millimeter range and is available in three different measuring ranges, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. This sensor is ideal for proximity measurements between 30 mm and 500 mm, capturing even the tiniest adjustments.?

Key Features?

• Dual Operating Concept: The LAT 52 can be operated through IO-Link or with a Keypad, offering flexibility in how it's used.?

• Eye-Safe: It has Laser Class 1 safety certification, making it safe to use around people.?

• High-Speed Precision: With a measurement frequency of up to 1,200 Hz and a resolution of 0.01 mm, the sensor provides fast and accurate readings.?

• Measuring Ranges: The LAT 52 comes in three variants to suit different needs:?

• High Resolution: 30 to 80 mm?

• Short Distance: 50 to 200 mm?

• Universal: 50 to 500 mm?

• Durable Design: The sensor’s robust metal housing is rated IP67, making it highly durable and reliable in tough industrial environments.?

• IO-Link Interface: With IO-Link, the sensor can send measured values digitally without any loss and allows for easy diagnostics and troubleshooting.?

• Customizable Sensor Modes and Filters: The LAT 52 can be adjusted with different sensor modes and filters to achieve the best measurement results.?

Applications?

• Stack Control in Cartoning Machines: The LAT 52-200 ensures the correct number of blisters are stacked in the carton before the filling process begins. Its high accuracy helps prevent over or underfilling before the carton is sealed.?
• Closure Control in Filling and Sealing Machines: In cup-filling machines, the LAT 52-80 checks the sealing film's size and quality after liquid products are filled and sealed. This ensures the seal is correct and helps detect any faults, improving the overall packaging quality.?
• Positioning a linear Axis in the pressing process: In assembly processes, achieving precise impression depth is crucial for ensuring high-quality results. The high-resolution LAT52-80 variant, with measurement capabilities starting from 30 mm, provides exceptional accuracy. Additionally, its compact design allows for space-saving installation, making it an ideal solution for environments where space is limited.

With its high precision and adaptability, the di-Soric LAT 52 sensor is a reliable choice for industrial automation systems that need accurate distance measurements to ensure smooth and efficient production processes.?
