Laser Sensor Measures Height/Profile on Tilted and Uneven Surfaces LJ-G 2D Laser Sensors from KEYENCE measure height/surface profiles but problems can occur when surfaces are tilted or inclined from underlying chips, debris, etc., or have uneven surfaces from poor mounting.

All data processed in real-time, GO/NG display, no PC required. |
