Today laser based industrial measuring systems  are used in a wide range of applications for controlling production processes. For example there are solutions for managing positioning processes, measuring of distance and length, level control management or detecting width, thickness or speed as well a controlling geometric profiles and contour. There are five different measuring technologies for detecting these measuring results, considering the environmental conditions of different applications:

• Time of Flight Measurement (TOF)
• Laser-Doppler-Interferometry
• Phase-Shift-Technology
• Pulse back-mixing method
• Laser-Triangulation
