PROTON PRODUCTS InteliSENS
mini Series: Hi-Spec, Non-Contact
Speed & Length Measurement
PROTON PRODUCTS, the global leader for non-contact laser
Doppler speed and length sensors, sets new standards for
hi-spec measurement performance.
PROTON PRODUCT’s InteliSENS mini
Series non-contact laser Doppler speed and
length sensors deliver the highest product
performance currently available, based on
technical specifications, design, intelligence
and process interfacing. The InteliSENS mini
Series combine the best of the best, avoiding
compromises or trade-offs for any given
application. PROTON’s intelligent laser Doppler
non-contact speed and length sensor replaces
contacting encoders that encounter slippage,
wear and marking. This highly-accurate speed
and length measurement helps prevent product
give-away or short-length delivery, which
translates into considerable financial benefits
across a wide range of applications.
The InteliSENS SL and SLR mini Series provide both
unidirectional and bidirectional speed measurement
up to 5000m/min with the latter being able to

measure from a standstill. With a measurement
repeatability of ±0.02% and an accuracy of better
than ±0.05%, it assures correct final product
length delivery to the customer. This contrasts
with contacting encoders are often no better that
±2.0% accurate due to slippage, contact wheel dirt
accumulation and electronic drift.
In situations where the product acceleration exceeds
1000m/min, the InteliSENS mini’s measurement
update rate of 200kHz makes it the fastest on
the market, capable of delivering accurate, high-
resolution measurement under rapidly changing
process conditions.
The InteliSENS mini’s embedded communications
library is without equal. Standard protocols
include RS232, Ethernet TCP/IP and CANbus with
PROFINET, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, Ethernet /
IP and WIFI as options. This capability produces
