Precision Speed and Length Measurements for Industrial Process Control

Accurate speed and length measurements are essential for the efficient production of continuous materials, sheet goods, and piece goods. The ProSpeed LSV from Polytec is a cutting-edge laser precision sensor designed for industrial process control, offering unparalleled accuracy and reliability. Utilizing laser Doppler velocimetry (LSV), these optical encoders provide precise, non-contact measurements of length and speed, eliminating issues like slippage, wear, and surface damage.
Unmatched Performance in Harsh Environments
The ProSpeed LSV excels in challenging conditions, reliably measuring even on red-hot metals at temperatures exceeding 1,000°C. This capability ensures accurate length verification, position tracking, speed synchronization, and precise cut-to-length control across various industries, including rolling mills, casting operations, packaging, cable manufacturing, and converting processes.
Advanced Connectivity for Process Optimization
With its enhanced connectivity features, the ProSpeed LSV seamlessly controls parameters and processes, providing essential measurement data for process optimization. The sensor supports multi-user access, allowing up to four users to operate simultaneously. It offers Ethernet/IP or Profinet protocols on request, as well as traditional analog or digital signals for PLC integration.Compact, Reliable, and Cost-Efficient Solutions

The ProSpeed LSV-1100 Laser Surface Velocimeters are designed to deliver reliable length and speed measurements even under harsh production conditions, with working distances of up to 1.5 meters. The non-contact measurement principle eliminates common issues associated with traditional contact-wheel methods, such as surface damage, slippage, and thermal expansion, and works effectively on nearly any surface.

For particularly demanding environments, the TPH thermo-protective housing offers added protection. Additionally, a range of application-optimized accessories, including air wipes, air amplifiers, cooling plates, and beam deflection units, enable customized sensor solutions with easy in-line integration, ensuring that the ProSpeed LSV meets the specific needs of your production process.
