A sensor for determining the position of a movable object along a selected axis. The system includes a target positioned at a location aligned with the selected axis. An optical energy emitter is mounted on the movable object and has a beam dispersion greater than two degrees directed at the target. An optical energy receiver is mounted on the movable object and aligned to receive optical energy reflected by the target. The optical energy detector generates a receive signal indicating reception of the optical energy. A time of flight circuit coupled to the emitter and receiver generates a flight time signal indicating the elapsed time from emission of the optical energy to reception of reflected optical energy. A control circuit monitors the flight time signal and outputs a position signal indicating position of the movable object with respect to the target.

Industrial position sensor

A system for automatically capturing an image of a moving vehicle and recording data parameters, such as date, time, speed operator, location, etc. on the image. A capture window that comprises a predetermined range of distances of the system from the moving vehicle can be set by the operator so that the image of the moving vehicle is automatically captured when it enters the capture window. The capture window distance can be entered manually through a keyboard or automatically using the laser speed gun. Automatic focusing is provided using distance information from the laser speed gun. A database is included to allow the user to search for specified parameters. Data records can be flagged for issuance of citations. A separate office unit is disclosed for retrieving and sorting data records so that field units are not occupied with such tasks. The office unit can be separately connected to licensing databases to retrieve information for issuance of citations.
