LMI Technologies SLS7000 Laser Triangulation Sensor System

The LMI SLS7000 Laser Triangulation Sensor System is a specular-reflective, non-contact profiling instrument designed for high-resolution surface measurements on shiny materials. It comprises a two-part setup: the SLS7000 sensor head and the SLS-PPU controller, linked by a 3 m sensor cable to the controller, which itself connects to a 110–230 VAC power supply and data interface via a 15-pin high-density connector. The sensor projects a 675 nm red laser with a nominal output of 1 mW and is intended for surfaces such as aluminum and stainless steel, where specular triangulation delivers enhanced detail on fine surface structures. With a measured range of about 1 mm, the system is capable of sub-micron level resolution, making it suitable for precise gauging and inline inspection tasks. On-device indicators include a red power LED on the sensor and green/yellow LEDs on the controller to signal valid data or out-of-range conditions, helping operators verify correct operation at a glance. This configuration supports high-precision measurement workflows in manufacturing and metrology applications that require detailed profiling of reflective surfaces and small features.
