Description

The Meskernel LDL-20 utilizes a phase-shift measurement principle to deliver highly accurate distance readings. This method involves modulating the intensity of the emitted laser beam and comparing the phase of the reflected signal, providing stable and precise measurements even at longer ranges. The sensor outputs data via a configurable serial interface, allowing direct connection to microcontrollers, PLCs, or industrial computers.

Engineered for demanding environments, the LDL-20 operates within a 0°C to 50°C temperature range. Its low-power Class II visible red laser ensures safe operation while providing a clear visual indicator of the measurement point. The sensor’s compact form factor and robust communication protocols make it an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable spatial awareness and object detection.

Key Features

  • Phase-Shift Laser Ranging: Delivers high-accuracy distance measurements with ±3 mm precision.
  • Multi-Interface Communication: Supports RS485 (for long-distance, multi-drop networks), USART, and RS232 serial protocols.
  • Compact & Lightweight Build: Optimized for space-constrained installations in mobile robots and automated machinery.
  • Wide Input Voltage Range: Compatible with 2.5V to 3.6V (dry cell) or 3.5V to 4.2V (lithium cell) power sources.
  • Visible Red Laser (Class II): Provides a clear targeting spot for alignment and setup, with eye-safe power levels below 1mW.
  • Stable Performance: Maintains accuracy across its full 20-meter measurement range under varying environmental conditions.

Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What communication interfaces does the LDL-20 sensor support?

The LDL-20 supports multiple serial communication protocols: USART (direct TTL serial), RS232, and RS485. The RS485 interface is particularly suited for long-distance communication and connecting multiple sensors on a single bus, making it ideal for industrial automation setups.

What is the operating voltage range and power requirement?

The sensor has a dual-range input voltage specification. For dry cell applications, use 2.5V to 3.6V (3.3V recommended). For lithium battery applications, use 3.5V to 4.2V (4.0V recommended). The communication logic level is 3.3V. Ensure your power supply can deliver stable voltage within these ranges for optimal performance.

How accurate is the LDL-20, and what is its measurement principle?

The LDL-20 achieves an accuracy of ±3 mm across its full 0.03 to 20-meter range. It uses a phase-shift measurement principle, where the phase difference between the emitted and reflected modulated laser light is calculated to determine distance. This method provides high stability and precision compared to simple pulse timing techniques.

Is the laser safe, and what class is it?

Yes, the sensor uses a Class II visible red laser with an output power of less than 1 milliwatt (mW). Class II lasers are considered eye-safe for accidental brief exposure, as the human blink reflex provides natural protection. The visible beam also aids in targeting and sensor alignment during setup.
