TOF/Spot
4.
Introduction
The TOF/Spot is a compact yet powerful single-spot
measuring system with the widest range of application
possibilities. It uses Time-of-Flight technology (TOF) to
ensure ultra reliable detection and exact detection range
setting, regardless of the background. This enables a
detection range of up to 6 m (20 ft).
The sensor can measure the exact distance at which a
person or object enters the detection area or it can simply
switch the output at a predefined level. This means the
potential application areas are immense: from optimizing
warehouse door opening times, to providing touchless
button functionality. Its small dimensions mean the
TOF/Spot is ideal as a built-in solution.
