Abstract
Optical sensors are adapted for distance measurement by emission and capture of measuring radiation reflected from an object to be measured. The optical sensors can be used with measuring devices, including coordinate measuring machines. The optical sensors have an optomechanical coupling unit, configured for automated coupling of the optical sensor to the measuring device and for bidirectional measuring radiation transmission between measuring device and optical sensor. The optical sensors have a first optical measuring channel, by which bidirectional measuring radiation transmission is provided between the measuring device and a first exit window of the optical sensor. The optical sensors have a second optical measuring channel, by which bidirectional measuring radiation transmission is provided between the measuring device and a second exit window of the optical sensor, and a switch for controlled variation of the measuring radiation transmission between at least the first or the second optical measuring channel.
