MODULOC SENSOR ENTERPRISES offers the 2D Laser Profile Scanners from Danish Sensor Engineering (DSE). The DSE O2DS Z-Line Laser Profile Scanners is a series of laser scanners that specialize in performing profile measurement in 2D. The measurement is achieved by oscillating the triangulation plane over an angle, with a maximum specified angle of 50°. These scanners utilize a fine collimated or focused laser beam that diffusely reflects from the surface of various objects. Through the use of a CCD camera and a Digital Signal Processor, the scanners accurately determine the radial distance from the mirror axis to the target surface and maintain the angular reference position. The DSE O2DS Z-Line covers 8 different radial measuring ranges. The smallest is 100 mm and largest is 2400 mm. The resolution varies from 0.03 mm to 0.8 mm. The smaller the measuring range is, the better the resolution will be. O2DS Z models are available with measuring frequencies of 2 kHz or 6 kHz. The DSE O2DS Z-Line is a compact unit with integrated optics, CCD camera, and digital electronics all are integrated in the sensor housing. There is no need for a separate controller unit. The output is a serial interface RS-422 or RS-232 (or optional Ethernet). The DSE O2DS Z-Line Laser Profile Scanners is delivered with CDs containing application software which is a DLL library for programs running under Windows. The PC application program receives output data from the scanner over the RS422/RS232 serial interface (or Ethernet ) and a COM port via the DLL. The software either converts polar coordinates of a measurement point to orthogonal X, Y-coordinates or presents a profile (table of X, Y values) for each sweep from one side to the other. Within the application program the user can specify the seize of the Y-increment and thus the length of the output table containing the profile data. Synchronization: As a rather unique feature the DSE O2DS Z-Line Scanner is available in synchronized versions where two or more units works together to perform complex 2D/geometric measurements. The working principle is one master scanner unit together with one or more slave units as for example, when four units controls dimensions and shape in tube- or similar productions process. High Temperature Target: To meet this demand, the DSE O2DS Z-Line Scanner can be modified into High Temperature versions to reach different levels of surface temperature. The Versions are named the HT, VHT  and VVHT  The HT version is made for surface temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F). The VHT can handle surface temperatures up to 1300°C (2372°F). The VVHT, using a BLUE laser diode is capable of measuring on extreme hot target surfaces up to 2200°C (3920°F). Protective Housing: A water cooled protection housing is available as an optional accessory. To further expand the usability of DSE O2DS Z-Line scanners for High Temperature applications, DSE has developed a water-cooled protection housing in stainless steel to totally enclose the sensors. The sensor is surrounded on all sides except from the backside by 5 water chambers. This ensures a very effective cooling and protection and allow the sensor to operate close the hot targets such as white glowing steel.
