The History of LaserSpeed Pro

Evolution

The origins of the LaserSpeed non-contact encoder can be traced back to its early beginnings with TSI, Inc. – an innovative technology company that pushed the envelope in measurement tools. The first system was designed for scientific purposes, but soon thereafter LaserSpeed was introduced to the industry and offered a highly accurate and effective solution for measuring length and speed in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals production applications. Through the years, LaserSpeed underwent a technical transformation making the unique laser-based encoder faster, better and more cost effective. The overall system anatomy has transformed from a larger, complex footprint into a compact, smart design.

Revolution

LaserSpeed has become synonymous with global leadership in length and speed measurement – offering manufacturers in a broad spectrum of industries a true productivity solution. Now, the world’s best non-contact measurement system is even better! Featuring powerful new capabilities in connectivity, communication and control consistent with Industry 4.0, LaserSpeed Pro integrates more easily than ever into production networks, providing the real-time data exchanges and tight processing efficiencies.
