Has anyone used any of the laser distance measurement sensor, specifically time of flight type? Im thinking about trying one of these to do some positioning. The applications I have to use them are not best suited for an encoder. Right now we are using discrete with prox sensors and it can be a bear to get setup in the field.
If so, what were your thoughts? pros, cons, issues? I plan to use I/O link so I can read the actual value instead of using the discrete outputs. I will have a little more flexibility there. Just a little nervous as Ive never used any type of laser measuring device, ive always used encoders.
Thanks,
