OEM Laser Module

LaserAce Im

The LaserAce® ILM OEM Laser Modules are compact class 1 eye safe, rugged, multipurpose laser distance meters for integration into OEM applications. The laser distance measuring modules have been specifically designed for additional integration each giving a reflectorless range of up to 700m (2300ft), 300m (1000ft), 150m (500ft) and 35m (110ft) for the IM700, IM300, IM150 and IM35 respectively. The sensors can be integrated into a number of suitable system applications requiring, primarily distance measurement.

LaserAce® ILM OEM laser modules can be configured to output range, speed and height of vehicles or objects and may also be set to trigger cameras in tollbooth or law enforcement applications. The laser sensors can also be further integrated to produce vehicle profiles and scans, classify and identify them, count axles, over height detection and much more.

Kapsch TrafficCom based in Austria use the LaserAce® IM 300’s for triggering cameras in toll booths. DI R Wieden of Kapsch TrafficCom commented, "LaserAce® ILM is easy to integrate and to adopt according to the given surroundings (conditions of the location). The product perfectly fits the requirements for vehicle detection and camera triggering that we have defined."

"The primary reasons we have used the LaserAce® ILM, laser modules are because they can accurately detect vehicles and classify truck versus passenger car without requiring a second mounting structure (e.g. gantry) or installing something in the roadway for multi-lane free flow applications. Most other laser detector devices must be mounted pointing straight down and thus in order to trigger a camera mounted above a lane, requires a second mounting structure (one for the laser and a different one for the camera). The MDL laser eliminates the need for the second gantry and allows us to mount the trigger device right next to the camera housing." Quote from JAI Pulnix, Denmark

Alongside traffic applications the LaserAce® ILM OEM laser module is used in military, security, construction and aviation markets. From a target designator, motion detector, surveying tool and altimeter, each market segment has its own special requirement. Here at MDL we are aware that no two applications are exactly the same so we work with our OEM partners to provide unique solutions to their individual applications and are always willing to help. LaserAce® ILM OEM laser module is cost effective, accurate, fast and environmentally sealed to IP67 making it the most robust sensor on the market today!

The OEM laser modules use time-of-flight technology, put simply, it measures the time taken for a very short pulse of infrared laser light to travel from one window in the module, to a very low noise detector in a second window. The distance to the target is calculated from the time taken to make the round trip. The reflected light signal levels are very low, so the greater the reflectivity of a target, the longer the range over which this target can be ‘seen’. Therefore, reflective targets will increase the range of each of the LaserAce® ILM OEM laser modules.

We provide a set of standard systems, which are designed for easy integration in all applications based on commonly required specifications. Other variations are available and customisations can be provided for OEM integrators. Please talk to us about your applications and needs so that we can show you how our LaserAce® OEM Laser modules can help you.

LaserAce® ILM-R

MDL’s standard laser module with a repetition rate of 9Hz. This unit is used in airborne laser altimetry, distance measurement and collision avoidance.

LaserAce® ILM-HR

The high repetition rate distance meter, with a rep rate of up to 1000Hz. This unit is faster than the standard ‘R’ version and is also used in airborne laser altimetry, distance measurement, excess height measurement and traffic applications.

LaserAce® ILM-T

A fixed distance high speed camera trigger. This unit is ideal for integration into a camera system for vehicle recognition, vehicle classification, profiling and speed detection.

LaserAce® ILM-S

An OEM speed and distance meter used to detect speeding vehicles. High repetition rates of measurement allow continuous distance measuring and speed calculation.

Please note that for our OEM customers we can customise the modules output information and repetition rate.
