18106 Application Field and Working Principle

The 18106, or laser velocity sensor (LVS), is an accessorial tool used in automation and process control applications. This device has numerous applications in controlling the angle and speed of moving parts, as well as providing accurate, real-time positioning.

In its most basic form, the 18106 uses a laser source and receiver to measure the movement of an object in real-time. This data can then be used for controlling the movement speed, angular velocity, or position of a part. In addition, the 18106 includes additional sensors such as inclinometers and mechanical encoders that can measure linear acceleration, angular acceleration, and angular velocity.

Laser velocity sensors are used in a wide range of applications, from aircraft engines to automotive engines, medical devices to robotics. Some of the most common applications of the 18106 include robotic motion control, automation of production processes, and medical device control.

The 18106 is typically configured as a two-axis system, with a laser source mounted to one end of a movable object, and a receiver mounted to the other end. The laser beam emitted from the source is reflected back to the receiver by the object, and the difference in the timing between the emitter and receiver is used to calculate the speed of the object.

The 18106 is also capable of measuring angular velocity. By measuring the differences between the laser pulses, the angular velocity can be calculated. Furthermore, it can also be used to measure angular acceleration, which is the measure of how quickly an object can change its angle.

The 18106 is a highly reliable and accurate device for measuring the speed, angular velocity, and angular acceleration of objects in real-time. It offers a degree of accuracy that is not achievable with traditional mechanical sensors. This makes it a valuable tool in automation, process control, and medical device control applications.
