OGD laser sensors: Simple solution for error-proofing
Error proofing, also known as mistake-proofing or poka-yoke, is a highly effective technique for preventing errors and mistakes in a variety of processes. Production errors are inevitable; however, the sooner the error is caught, the less expensive it is to correct. Defects often go undetected until the end of a manufacturing process or even at a final customer's site.
As depicted in the chart below, the cost of an error at the manufacturing cell level is low. However, if a defective part reaches an end customer, the cost to correct grows exponentially.
The OGD laser distance sensor provides robust and reliable distance measurement for your error-proofing applications.
Object orientation
Missing component
Correct installation
Superior accuracy at an affordable price
The accuracy of the OGD's time-of-flight technology compares favorably relative to competitors' CMOS technology, especially given the price point.
As the range increases, the OGD short-range laser distance sensor continues to deliver high accuracy allowing one sensor to be used in a variety of applications up to 500 mm range.
The interactive tool below can help you determine how the OGD sensor will perform in your application. To use the tool:
- Click on the operating mode your application requires - Fine, Standard, or Fast.
- Enter the sensing distance for your application.
- Read the accuracy for both black and white targets.
