COVIDIS High Speed

COVIDIS HIGH SPEED

Prime solution for length and velocity measurement with highest precision and high speed in challenging applications.

The COVIDIS series connect the benefit of the contact free optical measurement principle with a high precision length determination. Furthermore standstill and the movement direction of the material can be determinate accurately. The achieved accuracy of < 0.05% in length measurement is comparable to laser based solutions. With the advantage that no laser safety regulations need to be consider. The high working distance of d = 300 mm (11.8 in) allows also measurements on hot and sticky surfaces.
