    The OADM 13, a compact laser that measures distances up to 550 mm, delivers consistent and precise data independent of color and surface texture.

    The OADM 13, a compact laser that measures distances up to 550 mm, delivers consistent and precise data independent of color and surface texture. It offers 10-µm resolution and 900-µsec measuring cycles. Dot or line-shaped laser beam options enhance performance based on surface texture. The unit measures 13.4 × 40 ×48.2 mm, and requires no external control units. An onboard teach function lets users customize the measuring range, optimizing resolution, and applying full-signal deviation to the new measuring range. The die-cast housing is rated IP67.
