German Duff Norton sensors, Duff Norton models, Duff Norton prices

Duff Norton sensors are components that convert changes in non-electrical quantities (such as speed and pressure) into changes in electrical quantities. Depending on the non-electrical quantity converted, they can be classified into pressure sensors, speed sensors, temperature sensors, etc., and serve as parts and accessories for measurement, control instruments, and equipment. Valve Duff Norton sensor classification

Lasers can be divided into 4 types based on the working medium. (1) Solid-state lasers: The working medium is solid. Common types include ruby lasers, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet lasers (i.e., YAG lasers), and neodymium glass lasers. Their structures are roughly similar, characterized by being compact, robust, and high-power; neodymium glass lasers are the devices with the highest pulsed output power, reaching tens of megawatts. (2) Gas lasers: The working medium is gas. Various gas atomic, ion, metal vapor, and gas molecular lasers are now available. Common types include carbon dioxide lasers, helium-neon lasers, and carbon monoxide lasers. Shaped like ordinary discharge tubes, they feature stable output, good monochromaticity, and long service life, but have lower power and conversion efficiency. (3) Liquid lasers: These can be further divided into chelate lasers, inorganic liquid lasers, and organic dye lasers, with organic dye lasers being the most important. Their key feature is continuously tunable wavelength. (4) Semiconductor lasers: A relatively newer type of laser, with gallium arsenide lasers being the more mature variant. They are characterized by high efficiency, small size, light weight, and simple structure, making them suitable for use on aircraft, warships, tanks, and as portable equipment for infantry. They can be made into rangefinders and sights. However, they have lower output power, poorer directionality, and are significantly affected by ambient temperature.

Duff Norton sensor principle

When a laser sensor operates, the laser emitting diode first emits laser pulses toward the target. After reflection from the target, the laser scatters in various directions. Part of the scattered light returns to the sensor receiver, where it is received by the optical system and imaged onto an avalanche photodiode. An avalanche photodiode is an optical sensor with internal amplification capability, enabling it to detect extremely weak light signals and convert them into corresponding electrical signals. Commonly used are laser distance-measuring sensors, which determine the target distance by recording and processing the time elapsed from the emission of the light pulse to its reception. Laser sensors must measure the transmission time with extreme precision because the speed of light is very fast.

Duff Norton sensor applications

Oversize vehicle width and height detection: Laser sensors are used for rapid measurement. The network kernel of the PC industrial PC and visualization programming software VB is utilized for real-time data transmission and processing with the sensors. User-friendly host computer control software has also been designed. Field test data show that the system offers good real-time performance and high measurement accuracy, demonstrating practical value. Highway toll stations: Used at highway toll stations for vehicle counting and safety protection. Malaysia's Teras company has already deployed hundreds of BEA laser sensors in its manual and automatic toll collection systems. The laser sensors use the Time-of-Flight (TOF) measurement principle to form 4 planes within the detection zone for vehicle inspection. The product also features anti-rear-end collision and vehicle safety protection functions. Compared to traditional light curtains, laser sensors offer advantages such as high sensitivity, high accuracy, easy installation, cost-effectiveness, and strong stability. Google's second-generation driverless car: Equipped with laser sensors. In Google's second-generation autonomous vehicle prototype, besides the prominently visible laser sensor on the roof, other sensors are discreetly installed. Distinctive Google driverless car logos are affixed to the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle. The control and driving principle of the Google driverless car involves numerous sensors installed around the vehicle continuously collecting precise data about the vehicle itself and its surroundings. This data is analyzed and computed by the onboard processor, and the vehicle's movement is controlled based on the results. The driverless car uses GPS devices and sensors to accurately determine the vehicle's position and forward speed, identifying surrounding pedestrians, vehicles, bicycles, traffic lights, and many other objects. The roof of this Lexus vehicle features a 360° rotating laser holographic sensor, which can almost simultaneously sense conditions in front of, to the side of, and behind the vehicle. Data collected by the sensor is input via green data cables to the processor located on the right rear side of the vehicle. This laser sensor also enables global precise positioning for the driverless car. The original L emblem on the front of the Lexus was removed and replaced with a radar sensor to measure forward distance and vehicle speed, allowing assessment of traffic conditions ahead and controlling safe acceleration and deceleration. Position sensors are also mounted on the tire hubs to detect wheel rotation, aiding in vehicle localization. The heart of the Google driverless car—the processor—is located on the right rear side of the vehicle. Data information from all sensors is transmitted here via data cables for software-based analysis and processing, enabling precise sensing and judgment of different objects near the driverless car. In addition to analyzing and judging the current positions of objects around the driverless car, the software calculates and accurately predicts the potential next position of each object. Finally, the driverless car makes safe driving decisions based on all collected data, including controlling vehicle speed and maintaining distance from surrounding vehicles.
