LR-X series - Digital CMOS Laser Sensor

Digital CMOS Laser Sensor LR-X series

The LR-X Series is a remarkably small laser sensor capable of detecting targets based on position and is unaffected by colour, surface finish, or shape. Impressive durability is achieved with its food-grade stainles steel housing (SUS316L), high IP ratings, and guarded cable. Position changes as small as 0.5 mm are possible, along with automatic and real-time intensity adjustment to ensure stable detection on any target.

Features

Compact & Robust Design for Use Anywhere

Whether building a new machine or retrofitting an older one, the ultra-compact size of the LR-X Series makes it easy to integrate into any space. The metal housing and rugged design also ensure it will last in any environment.

Stable Detection of Any Target
Minimum Detectable Position Change: 0.5 mm

The LR-X Series detects targets based on position, not light intensity. This allows for stable detection of targets regardless of colour, surface finish, or shape. This allows the LR-X Series to be used in a wide variety of applications, including those with small position changes.

LR-T series - Self-contained TOF Laser Sensor

Self-contained TOF Laser Sensor LR-T series

The LR-T Series of reflective sensors represents a seamless fusion of innovative technology and robust functionality.

Catalogues Price

Features

Superior Detection Capabilities

The LR-T is designed to detect at long ranges while remaining highly stable. This is achieved due to the HS2 technology used, a combination of Time of Flight detection and a custom integrated circuit. Additionally, the interference prevention and Datum Function allow users to maximize this sensors capability in any situation.

Easy to Use

The LR-T Series is simple to install and calibrate. Flexible mounting options, a visible beam spot, push button teach, and an easy to read display allow for quick setup. Even at long distances, constant feedback is provided with the LR-T's highly visible status indicator.

LR-Z series - Self-contained CMOS Laser Sensor

Self-contained CMOS Laser Sensor LR-Z series

Laser sensor capable of detecting targets based on both position and contrast (detectable distance: up to 500mm).

Catalogues Price

Features

Best Detection Ability in its Class

The LR-Z's unique U.C.D. Function allows for stable detection of clear, metallic, or dark targets. This series can also detect purely based on distance, regardless of shape, colour, or surface finish.

Durable & Long Life

The IP68/69K rating means the LR-Z is ready for the roughest of factory environments. Wash-down, oil spray, and many corrosives are no match for the stainless steel body. Additionally, physical impact or even overtightening are not a concern because of the highly durable design.

PZ-G series - Built-in amplifier photoelectric sensors

Built-in amplifier photoelectric sensors PZ-G series

High-power, dual LED-type photoelectric sensors for improved performance and ease of use.

Features

Sensitivity Setup and Display Standardisation at the Touch of a Button

Easy configuration

By standardising the received light intensity display of multiple sensors to “100” and “0”, it is easy to tell where an error has occurred because the sensor will not return to the original display value of “100” or “0”.

The sensor where the error occurred is identifiable at a glance.

Electric Wire Cable Allows for Rejoining

Because the sensor head cable is a simple power cable, it can be extended to the desired length. By soldering or using a metal connector, it can be extended to a maximum of 10 m (32.81').

Joining fibreoptic sensors

The light intensity is attenuated by approximately 90% at the joining surface.
With the PS-NEO, no light attenuation occurs even when cables are rejoined.

PX series - Heavy-duty Photoelectric Sensors

Heavy-duty Photoelectric Sensors PX series

The new PX Series heavy-duty industrial photoelectric sensors. Rugged industrial sensors designed for use in harsh environments.

Catalogues Price

Features

Water-resistant and Oil-resistant IP68G/IP69K Structure

Outstanding resistance to harsh environments thanks to the new "vacuum packed" structure

The sensing heads are completely backfilled under vacuum with transparent epoxy resin. This ensures maximum adhesion with the cable and lens, and eliminates the risk of liquid penetration.

Impressive Thrubeam Strength

High-power MEGA mode

Using the high power MEGA mode, the PX family can operate reliably up to 40 m. In addition to long distance detection, the high power of the PX easily penetrates oil, grease, dust, dirt and other obstructions.
