ABB LM80

Product Introduction

The ABB LM80 is a high-performance, non-contact laser level transmitter designed for precise measurement of liquid and solid levels in extreme industrial environments. Utilizing pulse laser technology, the LM80 measures distances by emitting laser pulses towards the target surface and calculating the time-of-flight of the reflected light. This advanced method allows for accurate level measurements in applications ranging from small tanks to large silos.
