The Type S module is a single-point measuring device. The laser point is analyzed by two separate optical systems. Each module reads the dimensions of an object with accuracy and performance. Stacked together, they become a transverse profiling system suitable for trimmer and grade optimizer applications.

This scanner allows data acquisition to be independent of the color of the object. Can be mounted as a single unit or as multiple units connected in Daisy-Chain (up to 32 modules) or on a Backplane (at 1-inch center) for fast Ethernet data transfer. Mounting two units facing one another provides a differential measurement system for thickness. The Type S scanner, with its visible laser beam and easy viewing status LED is simple to install, interface to a PC or PLC, understand, and work with.
