Laser distance sensor

For example, the sensor can be used for positioning robot arms, measuring the position of hoops, checking for the presence of very small objects or checking for the overlapping of even the thinnest types of material.

Measuring can take place both stationary and dynamically. As there is both a digital and an analog output signal (0 - 5V) available for integration into the process, it is possible to perform dynamic measurements or control loops or determine profiles and contours of many different components. You only need the function keys to configure the sensor and immediately the measured distance will be displayed in millimetres on the built-in four-digit display. Additional digital inputs are used to trigger the sensor, to control the laser power, and to perform zero adjustment.

The three models available in the HG-C series offer measurement ranges from 30 ±5mm to 100 ±35mm with a typical beam diameter of 10μm to 70μm. All models are equipped with a red semiconductor laser of class 2 in an aluminium die-cast housing and have a temperature drift of 0.03%. Due to a compact, lightweight body, the HG-C distance sensor can be mounted on the moving parts of machines.
