AR4000 Laser Range Finder

AR4000 Laser Range Finders are unique distance measuring devices. They employ a modified time-of-flight measurement principle that leads to very fast and accurate measuring speeds. In AR4000, the laser emitter and return signal collection lens are concentric. A collimated beam of laser light is emitted from a diode in the centre of the Fresnel collection lens. Light hits a target and is diffusely reflected, collected by the lens and focussed on an avalanche photodiode.

AR4000 laser rangefinder is the fastest sensor for measuring long distances in its range. With time-of-flight measuring principles, the rangefinder can accurately gauge distances up to 16.45 m.

Features

  • AR 4000 is known for its speed, concentric optical path and its ability to be mated to the Acuity line scanner.
  • The standard speed of the rangefinder using RS232, RS422 or analog interfaces is approximately 770 Hz.
  • Additionally, the rangefinders can be ordered with high speed interface cards (HISF cards) for faster sampling speeds either 50 KHz or 200 KHz with either PCI or PC104 bus formats.
