Laser distance sensor
16 May 2016
Panasonic's HG-C laser distance sensor is suited to a range of industrial automation applications, including 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 materials.
The sensor has both digital switching and analogue outputs, enabling integration into existing applications. The sensor can be used in place of normal switching photoelectric sensors, or can be used as a measuring device in profiling and measuring the contours of components.
The four models available in the HG-C series offer measurement ranges from 30 ±5mm to 400 ±200mm. 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%. Thanks to the compact and light-weight body, the HG-C distance sensor can be mounted on the moving parts of machines.
