  4. Nearest/farthest distance and measuring span

    State both limits and units, mounting space and optical clearance; include any approach below 1 m.

  5. Target surface, layers and temperatures

    Material/finish, opaque or transparent stack, hot target versus sensor ambient, light/dust/steam.

  6. Motion, acquisition and synchronization

    Line speed, flutter/tilt, fresh-reading rate, trigger/encoder, exposure/filtering and latency budget.

  7. PLC or PC interface and result format

    Controller model; exact analog/digital protocol; units, status flags, timestamps and data-loss behavior.

  8. Mechanical drawing and installation review

    Drawing revision, mounting datum, connector/cable access, frame, reflector and protective housing.

  9. Electrical and communication review

    Supply, model-specific pin assignment, analog load/scaling, register/process map and firmware revision.

  10. Documents to request

    STEP/drawing; clearance; M12 pinout; analog/Modbus map; fieldbus/SDK; calibration; safety/environment.

  11. Reference artifact and calibration scope

    Reference identity/uncertainty, points/span, fixture and environmental conditions, report identity.

  12. Acceptance method and decision rule

    Tolerance and uncertainty treatment, repeat/reload tests, difficult surfaces and invalid-data coverage.

  13. Supply scope, quantity and destination

    Heads/systems, frame/controller responsibility, sample/annual quantities, country and desired schedule.

  14. Open questions and confidentiality

    Unconfirmed requirements and document revisions; NDA/transfer needs. Avoid confidential details until agreed.

Build one request for the documents you need.

Choose the proposed family and the document categories for review. The next form retains your selections and gathers the application, quantity and reply details.

Configuration and requested documents

Planning references identify requested geometry, not released model specifications.

0 document categories selected. Availability and revision require confirmation.

No document is ordered or declared available by selecting it. You can edit the request on the contact form.

HARDWARE / INSTALLATION REFERENCE

Request drawings for each boundary in the sensing chain.

Sensor, communication unit and cable can have separate part numbers and document revisions.

Black rectangular point-sensor housing showing the side mounting recesses, top controls and rear elbow cable entry
Cable and mounting clearance
Upright black communication unit with top ports and a side terminal block
Communication-unit arrangement
Gray sensor cables with straight and right-angle M12 connectors
Cable routing and connector options

Representative housing views. Confirm the exact model, dimensions and supply scope. Housing color does not identify laser wavelength.

CONFIGURATION-SPECIFIC / REQUEST AND CONFIRM

Ask for the revision that matches the ordered hardware.

These seven categories describe what to request, not a list of verified files ready for download. Include the proposed order code and firmware, and have the document identity and availability confirmed before using it in the machine design.

REQUEST / cad

Dimensioned drawing / 3D STEP

Mechanical fit in the machine assembly.

Check: Complete order code, housing and mounting revision, datum dimensions, connector envelope and included accessories.

Request this document category ↗
REQUEST / clearance

Optical clearance & mounting drawing

A clear outgoing and receiving optical path.

Check: Emitter/receiver clearance, stand-off limits, target movement, specular arrangement and enclosure opening.

Request this document category ↗
REQUEST / pinout

Model-specific M12 pin assignment

A configuration-specific electrical connection.

Check: Connector coding and view, supply/reference, pin functions, shield and mating cable revision.

Request this document category ↗
REQUEST / modbus

Analog scaling / RS485 register map

Correctly interpreted, fresh measurement values.

Check: Analog endpoints/fault states; register function/address, data type, units, scale, word order and validity.

Request this document category ↗
REQUEST / network

Fieldbus description file / SDK

A matching process-data or software interface.

Check: Ordered protocol, device/firmware identity, supported file revision, PLC/master compatibility or SDK data definition.

Request this document category ↗
REQUEST / calibration

Calibration scope & report sample

Evidence relevant to the required measurement result.

Check: Measured unit/serial, test conditions, reference chain, measuring points, uncertainty and supplied system boundary.

Request this document category ↗
REQUEST / safety

Laser safety & environmental documentation

Information for the responsible machine/EHS review.

Check: Exact ordered variant, laser classification/label, environmental ratings, conditions and document scope.

Request this document category ↗

  1. Describe the measurement

    Provide target, near/far limits, datum, tolerance, motion and integration requirements using the worksheet or contact form.

  2. Confirm the configuration and revisions

    Identify the proposed hardware and available files. Keep open questions visible; a requested category is not a released document.

  3. Agree supply and acceptance

    Record who supplies heads, frame, controller, wiring/software work and reference testing. Confirm price, quantities, destination and schedule in the written quotation.

Questions before you request the files

Which files can I download immediately?

The owned blank project-brief PDF and matching text worksheet are directly available. Model-specific CAD, wiring, protocol, calibration and safety documents require confirmation for the proposed configuration.

Can I request several document categories together?

Yes. Select the categories and proposed family in the resource planner. The contact form retains those selections so the complete request can be sent in one enquiry.

Does the worksheet replace a datasheet or calibration certificate?

No. It records project requirements and open questions. It contains no released model specifications, measured results, pin assignments or certification.
