1.3 Description of functions AMS 338 i
The AMS 338 i optical laser measurement system calculates distances to fixed as well as
moving system parts. The distance to be measured is calculated according to the principle
of the propagation time of radiated light. Here, the light emitted by the laser diode is reflected
by a reflector onto the receiving element of the laser measurement system. The AMS 338
i
uses the "propagation time" of the light to calculate the distance to the reflector. The high
absolute measurement accuracy of the laser measurement system and the fast response
time are designed for position control applications.
With its AMS 3xx
i product series, Leuze makes available a wide range of internationally rele-
vant interfaces. Note that each interface version listed below corresponds to a different
AMS 3xx
i model.
