LASER POINTERS: Dealing with dust

Heavy airborne dust and dust accumulation can pose a threat to even the most precise and rugged laser distance sensors. The kind of impenetrable environmental conditions problematic for a Dimetix laser, however, are typically found only in extremely dusty environments such as cement hoppers. For most other situations the challenge can be addressed through simple maintenance procedures, such as routine lens cleaning, and design strategies including integration of a protective housing or a forced air stream to prevent dust accumulation.
