LM200 High Performance Laser Distance Level and Position Sensor from ABB

LM200 is a laser-based distance measuring instrument which is designed for use in process control systems. It is used for the level of silos and bins: ideal for plastic pellets, grain, coffee, dry bulk solids, opaque liquids and powders.

It does not require any maintenance, and is also used in process control system. Invisible, infrared light is used by the measuring laser.

Accurate targeting becomes easy in silos or vessels with internal structures as the laser beams have little divergence. The on-board microprocessor is used for calculating distance by multiplying the speed of light by the time taken by a laser pulse to travel from the instrument to a target and back.
