Abstract :
The purpose of this work is to develop an optical distance sensor of reduced size and very-low power consumption to be used on a measuring system for characterizing steel pipes. The work led to the construction of a working prototype configured as an active triangulation rangefinder with a gamut of 10 cm starting at 5 cm. The experimental measurements have confirmed the feasibility of this new lightweight and extremely small size rangefinder with a resolution of about 10 μm on a range of measurement of 10 cm, providing up to 10000 measurements per second.
