Patent No. 5,521,694 Inventor: J. Martin Osterwalder Assignee: Nova Ranger, Inc. This unique laser beam path profile sensor patent for sale uses technology to provide unique output. More detailed specifications and performance available for different Nova Ranger sensor systems: www.novaranger.com.
Patented product measures continuously and fast distances with laser-based sensor, suitable for industrial control applications.
The Nova Ranger, which is a sensor using US patent number 5,521,694 is a laser-based unit which measures distances fast and continuously from 9 inches to 200 feet. The visible laser beam needs only to be aimed at the intended target and measurements are taken. The Nova Ranger is designed for industrial control applications, and the patent provides many applications, some listed below.
This profile sensor is a powerful cost-saving tool which realizes substantial time and personnel savings for many automated industrial applications. To date over 200 Nova Ranger units have been sold and are successfully operating in a variety of field applications.
Laser Beam Path Profile Sensor System features:
Tracking:
dimensional/ volumetric measurements of moving objects/packages on conveyor belts
control of parts of injection molding machinery
position of pistons, rotating drums, etc.
checking dimensions of products in the lumber and paper industry
position control of hazardous substances
Monitoring:
movements such as cranes for collision avoidance, position location, and speed control
dimensions of stock material/sheet metal
diameter of fabric and paper rolls
levels of substances in food bins
levels in tanks - suitable for turbid or foamy liquids and slurries
Target Market:
For continuously measuring package dimensions in 3-D on counters and on conveyor belts, at places like FEDEX, UPS, Kinko’s, airline counters etc.
