Data sheet

ILM-R
Industrial Laser Module
Renishaws range of OEM Industrial Laser Modules (ILM) utilise
pulsed time-of-flight technology to provide users with contactless
measurements to passive targets.
This is achieved through using an invisible and eye-safe laser source
and low-level detector mounted within a robust housing.
The ILM-R (range) variant is designed specifically to measure the
distance between the laser module and a passive target.
The key difference between the ILM-R and the other laser module
variants is the output rate of 9 Hz, being the average of 20 individual
measurements, providing a stable measurement.
Features of Renishaws ILM-R laser modules include:

Range of 0.5 to 1200 m to a passive target (depending on

variant)

Accuracy of 10 cm**

Repeatability of 8 cm**

Laser safety to Class 1 or Class 1M

Data rate output of up to 9 Hz

Environmental protection to IP67

RS232 protocol (RS422 available by special request)

ILM- R variants

ILM-35-R = 0.5 m to 35 m

ILM-150-R = 0.5 m to 150 m

ILM-500-R = 1.0 m to 500 m

ILM-1200-R = 10 m to 1200 m

Maximum distances are quoted to passive targets*.

Minimum distances are quoted to the point at which an
object can first be detected.

Electrical connections

FISCHER-DBEE-102A054-130 is located on the rear of the

ILM unit

A standard 2 m adaptor cable is available with each unit,

which converts the FISCHER connector to a 9-way D-type
and two flying leads for power

The pin outs for these connectors are described within the table
opposite.

* Max measuring ranges are recorded against Kodak white card (90% reflectivity) and grey card (18% reflectivity).
** Completed to Kodak white card, statistical error of 1. Both specifications are tested under standard Renishaw test conditions.
*** Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments designed for use at a distance (for example, telescopes and binoculars) may pose an eye
hazard. **** Environmental protection is tested in accordance with IEC 60529 (2001).
Observed performance is application specific and dependent on a number of environmental and target parameters. As a result it may vary from the
performance figures stated above. It is the customers responsibility to confirm that laser performance is acceptable for their application.
Please discuss with your local Renishaw office or distributor for further information.
The following clause applies for instruments delivered into the United States: Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to
