In today’s industrial landscape, measuring shiny or extremely rough surfaces poses a unique challenge for traditional sensors. But what if there was a solution that combines compact design with high accuracy? Enter the MESAX multi-spot laser distance sensor, an innovative product from Baumer designed specifically for demanding surface measurements.

What Makes MESAX Different?

Unlike standard laser distance sensors, the MESAX utilizes a groundbreaking multi-spot measurement principle based on the light section method. This approach allows it to capture up to 600 measured values of an object within its field of view and then intelligently analyze these points to calculate precise distances. The result is highly accurate (with a resolution of up to 2 µm, or 0.008% of the measuring range) and repeatable measurements—even under varying ambient light conditions.

At just over 500 distance calculations per second, this sensor delivers real-time performance that’s hard to match. Its compact design makes it ideal for integration into existing systems without requiring elaborate conversions or external software, ensuring immediate usability out-of-the-box.

Applications in Testing and Measurement

The MESAX multi-spot laser sensor is versatile enough to handle a wide range of scenarios:

  • Quality inspection: Perfect for measuring glossy objects where reflections could confuse traditional sensors.
  • Grinding applications: Ideal for positioning grinding disks on extremely coarse surfaces, ensuring precision even when standard methods fail.

This combination of innovation and practicality positions the MESAX as an essential tool in optical laser distance measurement—a unique solution that’s built to last across diverse industrial settings.
