1-1 Overview of the IG Series

Measurement Principle

This unit receives laser light from the transmitter. The receiver uses a CCD (Charge
Coupled Device) as the receiving detector. The CCD is a linear array of light receiving
elements. When a target is placed between the transmitter and receiver, a shadow is
caused on the receiver. By detecting the light to dark and dark to light transitions, the unit is
able to measure those areas accurately.
For details, refer to "4-3 Setting the Measurement Sensitivity" (page 4-44).

Measurement accuracy changes depending on the mounting distance between the

"5-1 Specifications" (page 5-2)

When the mounting distance is long and the object is far from the receiver, the light
diffraction caused by the object increases. Because of this, the edge of CCD’s light­receiving waveform generated by the object is skewed increasing measurement error.
To i n cr ease the measurement accuracy, make the mounting distance as short as possible
and move the insertion position of the object closer to the receiver.

The number of digits of the judgment value (P.V.), the internal measurement value (R.V.) or
the calculation value (CALC value) displayed on the sensor amplifier is set.

When the "Interference prevention function setting" is set to ON, the
update timing of the internal data on the main unit and the expansion
unit do not match. Therefore, when a moving target is measured using
the calculation mode, the measurement value may greatly differ from
the actual value.

direction" (page 4-17)

When a transparent object is measured, the
red LED may flicker. However, if the green
LED lights on in the stable condition, this is
not a problem. If desired, set "Red : Off".

Green LED: Only the measured area lights ON.
Red LED: Only the light received area lights ON.

Green LED: Lights ON for GO judgment.
Red LED: Lights ON for HIGH judgment, LOW judgment and error.

"3-6 Setting the Tolerance Setting Value" (page 3-11)
If GO: red is set for "18. Display Color" (page 4-43), the
lighting method for green LED and red LED is reversed.

Green LED: Only the measured part lights ON

Display example of the normal setting

The range with the green LED ON is the measured target and the internal measurement
value (R.V.) is determined. If the green LED all lights off, the internal measurement value
(R.V.) is determined as [].
CCD judges that the light enters only the range with the red LED ON (exceeding the
binarization level).
