    Functional Principle, Technical Data Short Description The optoNCDT 1420 uses the principle of optical triangulation, that is, a visible, modulated point of light is projected onto the target surface. The diffuse part of the reflection of this point of light is displayed depending on distance on a position-resolving element (CMOS) by an receiver optic which is arranged to the optical axis of the laser beam in a defined angle.

    Light from other Sources Thanks to their integrated optical interference filters the optoNCDT 1420 sensors offer outstanding performance in suppressing light from other sources. However, this does not preclude the possibility of interference from other light sources if the objects being mea- sured are shiny and if lower measuring rates are selected.
  • Page 26: Color Differences

    If the objects being measured are fast moving and the measuring rate is low, it is possible that movement blurs may result. Always select a high measuring rate for high-speed operations, therefore, in order to prevent errors. optoNCDT 1420 Page 26...
