Automation Boot Camp

Pepperl + Fuchs engineers have redeveloped optical distance measurement sensors
with Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT). PRT can now be used in small industrial
sensors for a wide range of commercial applications!

Unlike indirect processes, like phase correlation and analog chip based
processes, the time of flight is measured directly.

In the direct PRT process a laser diode transmits short pulses of light which
are reflected on the target object and then recaptured by a
light-sensitive receiver element.

This process exceeds all previous methods. PRT superiority is
due to the transmission of faint light pulses containing energy up to a
thousand times more intense than sensors emitting permanent light beams.

PRT always achieves accurate, reliable and reproducible results
regardless of ambient conditions!
