digital technology for maximum reliability

ZX-T SERIES

Contact measurement sensor

Advanced Industrial Automation

Omron has expanded its smart sensor family with the introduction of the ZX-T, a contact

displacement measurement sensor for high-precision applications. Like the other smart sensors

in this range, the ZX-T features a host of remarkable features and functions. Diverse calculation

and controlling functions, for example, allow you to measure and control the application by high-

pass-low output. An auto-scale function enables you to connect any sensor head simply by plug-

and-play, and the amplifier automatically displays the measurement distance after the sensor
head has been connected. There’s a multi-point calculation feature that allows you to connect

up to 8 units for addition and subtraction, to give the most even calculation result possible.

And problems caused by excessive pressing force in an inappropriate measurement situation

can be detected in advance to prevent malfunction.

Each sensor head has a long service life thanks to its unique linear

ball-bearing structure. Sliding parts move smoothly and the rubber sleeves

keep dust out. IP67 protection makes this sensor robust enough for use

in the harshest environments. All of these features make the ZX-T ideal for

those who need a very reliable, very accurate, high-resolution sensor for

measuring all kinds of materials and surfaces where non-contact

sensor types cannot be used. Potential markets include the

automotive industry, metal-processing machinery and all

kinds of assembly machine applications.

Digital measurement sensing

concept – only from Omron!

The range consists of three different sensor heads, five sensor
tips, and two amplifiers. Two of the sensor heads are exactly
the same in terms of measurement range, the only difference
is that one is designed for low-torque measurement, making
it suitable for use on delicate or soft surfaces. One of these, the
long-stroke ZX-TDS04, achieves high-precision measurement
with the industry’s best-in-class resolution (0.1µm) and
linearity (0.3% F.S. max.). The ZX-T’s 6mm-diameter heads are

among the smallest in the industry, and can be used in very

narrow spaces or for multi-point measurement.

What’s innovative about the ZX-T is its accuracy; it can measure the length, width, thickness,
diameter, eccentricity, flatness, inclination and the evenness of an object with a resolution of less
than 0.1 micrometre! Itincorporatesdigitaltechnologyand isnotaffected byelectricalnoise
or interference,

making it a more reliable, accurate, high-performance solution for advanced quality­control applications. And it fits seamlessly into Omron’s Smart Platform concept, so setting up,
programming and operating the product is simply drag-and-drop via a HMI screen.
