The OADM 13 is a compact sensor that measures distances up to 550 millimeters and delivers noncontact measurement independent of color and surface texture. Offering 10 micrometer resolution and 900 microsecond measuring cycles, the sensor has dot or line-shaped laser beam options that enhance performance based on surface texture.
A gas that has been used to create electricity and fuel the onboard energy needs of the space shuttle and whose applications may someday fuel cars, trucks and remote power stations, has found a more down-to-earth use today.
