Laser Head Height Sensor – Looking for a Beta Tester

Thanks for the info. From what I gather, reading previous posts, the periodm function requires linuxcnc 2.10. I'll have to make up another test unit for that. Also, I'm running a 2msec servo thread. Is that going to be an issue?

It does make the resolution of the encoder frequency  a bit better than at 1 ms
but the periodm does not care as you specify the number of period averages.

I agree with you. The topic is not easy.

I had to put the project on hold for a while because the sensor had problems with some heads (precitec) that contain electronic components inside nozzle holder. This effectively prevented my sensor from working.

Now I have dealt with it and it seems to work correctly, so I want to put the device into production.

If you have time and want, I will prepare a test device for you.

I want the device to work at the highest level, so any feedback is valuable to me.

The tests were very promising.

Interesting product. Any idea if your sensor works with PLLA (plastic/polymer)?

Can't test at the moment as the intended laser systems aren't ready yet, but might be interested in testing and/or purchasing units soon.

the device was designed for metal materials. It was tested with other materials and although it works, the precision of the measurement is not satisfactory for me to sign under it as a manufacturer. It works quite well with wood, but a change in structure (a knot in a board) can significantly change the capacitance.

so the answer is: No, the device is designed only for metals.

A test device would be great. What information do you need to get it to me?
