The vehicle can be positioned around curves and inclines where
traditional laser measurement systems cannot be used. By using a linear
bar code tape for long-range fine positioning, the OLM enables users to
position vehicles with 0.1mm resolution at distance up to 10km. In
addition, this non-contact solution helps ensure longer use and reliable
measurement, offering the longest run time of any positioning sensor,
says the vendor. Its four LEDs and CMOS camera are said to last twice as
long as lasers and rotating mirror technology used in competitive
sensors and positioning methods.SICK Inc.www.sickusa.com800.325.7425
