1550A Angular Sensor

Measures a tiny variation of a surface or the Z-motion of an object regardless of its reflectivity or color.

The 1550A Laser Displacement Sensor is another innovation of Excel Precision. It is designed for measurement that requires high resolution and frequency response. This device can measure a tiny variation of a surface or the Z-motion of an object regardless of its reflectivity or color. Applications such as spindle run-out, concentricity of the part in the chuck, surface roughness, wobbling of a mounted hardware, vibration of the machine, etc. can be accomplished in less than one minute.

The 1550A Laser Displacement Sensor consists of one each of the sensor head, the signal processing unit, and a power supply. The signal processing unit displays the measured results either in unit of microns or in micro-inches. The signal processing unit comes with an RS485 data port. This data port allows the user to acquire measured result for parts inspection, quality control, machine wear-out history, etc.

This device is easy to use and does not require sophisticated installation or alignment procedure. The compact size allows it to be mounted almost anywhere near the measured object. The optional magnetic mounting pad makes it really easy to attach the 1550A Laser Displacement Sensor on machine bed.
