Canadian businesses seeking high-precision measurement solutions can access world-class laser sensors through Durham Instruments, including Acuity Laser Measurement’s advanced AR1000 industrial laser distance meter. This versatile instrument serves critical functions across multiple industries, from crane positioning and hoist monitoring to bulk material level measurement and structural profiling.
The AR1000 employs phase-shift comparison technology to deliver accurate distance measurements up to 30 meters, with an extended range of 150 meters when used with reflective target boards. Its robust design features an NEMA-4, IP65-rated enclosure capable of withstanding direct water rinsing, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The device offers multiple data output options including RS232, RS422 (optional), and 4-20 mA current loop signals to accommodate various system integration needs.
Engineered for versatility, the AR1000 finds applications across manufacturing, aerospace, automation, food processing, forestry, medical, military, mining, packaging, power generation, transportation, and research sectors. While it performs reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings, measurement accuracy may be affected by extremely dark surfaces or environmental factors like steam, fog, or smoke. A notable capability includes measuring glowing steel at temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Celsius, making it invaluable for heavy industrial applications.
For operations in extreme cold, the AR1000H variant includes an internal heater that maintains functionality at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius, with user-configurable heating cycles accessible through the serial interface. The standard model delivers measurement accuracy within ±3 millimeters, with 1 millimeter resolution and a 1 millimeter laser spot size featuring 0.6 mrad divergence. Weighing 760 grams, the Class 2 laser device complies with international safety standards including IEC/EN60825-1:2001 and 21 CFR 1040.10, utilizing a 650-nanometer, 1-megawatt visible red laser.
With sampling speeds reaching 50 hertz for close-range white targets with minimal movement, the AR1000 combines precision, durability, and adaptability for industrial measurement challenges. Available through Durham Instruments, this laser distance meter provides Canadian businesses with reliable, high-performance measurement technology for critical applications.
