Features and benefits

The Dilas FT 2000 is a digital, high resolution, non-contact laser measurement sensor.
The target may be hot or cold, stationary or moving. Dilas FT 2000 measures on all non-shiny surfaces.

• Measurement range up to 45 m directly on the surface, up to 100 m with reflecting plates.
• High accuracy : ± 3 mm up to 30 m.
• 1 mW visible laser beam (class 2).
• Integrated 4 digits display.
• Sensor configuration with PC software.
• Autonomous sensor : ready to use, no calibration required.
• Water cooling and air purging for the steel industry.

Typical applications

Billet - Bloom length measurement

Stop position measurement

Slab Position control


Length – Width measurement

Position control


Coil position control – Coil width and diameter measurement

Tube diameter measurement

Charging of billet – Position control

Dilas FT 2000 – Presentation

The Dilas FT 2000 is an autonomous sensor mounted in cast aluminium housing. A hood for protecting the window glass is fitted with an air-jet facility to blow a vertical air curtain in front of this glass. The case is mounted on a cooling plate including a stainless steel pipe and fixed to a mounting stand, adjustable in two axes. The electrical connection is made via a connector. The sensor is delivered already equipped with the corresponding plug with silicone-armoured cable (2 m standard length).
A digital display at the rear of the sensor indicates the measured distance.

Operating principle:

The operation of the Dilas FT 2000 is based on time of flight measurement. The sensor calculates the distance of the target surface using the time of flight of visible laser light pulses.
