RIEGL Laser
Distance Meters
The sensors of the LD05 Series are based on precise
time-of-flight laser range measurement. Using stateof-the-art signal processing technique the sensors
provide accurate distance measurement for evencomplex multi-target situations, e.g. under badvisibility conditions due to rain, fog, dust, etc.
A lightweight stable aluminium housing, basic
types with pre-configured measurement modes,
as well as possible adaptions to customer
specific applications make the LD05 distancemeters suitable for a variety of applications inharsh industrial environments.
For operation in extremely exposed environments (like high temperature areas), thedistance meters of the LD05-GF Series
are offered. They consist of an opticalhead and a separate electronics unit
connected by a duplex glass-fiber
cable of variable length from 3m
to more than 50m. Electronics unit
and optical head can be mounted
separately
accordingto
therequirements resulting from criticalenvironmental conditions.

analogtarget

receiverdigital(reflection coefficient ρ)receiver lensAn electrical pulse generator periodically drives a semiconductor laser transmitter, emitting infrared laser
pulses, which are collimated and emitted by the transmitter lens. A receiver converts the optical echo
signal into an electrical signal, which is digitized internally and subsequently processed by a subsystem foron-line full waveform analysis. Sophisticated algorithms optimize the instruments' capabilities to measure
the desired target even in the presence of smoke, rain, fumes, or dust.
