Detection, discernment and measurement sensors

HL-C1 SERIES

Measures displacement with high speed
and stability

Controller compact and front connection
reduces setup space

The ultra-compact controller with dimensions of W40⳯H120

⳯D74mm requires much less space for installation. Adhesive instal-

lation is also possible. Furthermore, the cables can be connected
directly or to a removable terminal
board, so that all connections
come from the same direction in
order to further save space.

Equipped with serial input/output

An RS-232C interface for serial input and output is
provided so that settings can be retrieved and saved.
Measurement values can also be retrieved.

Sampling rate of 100µs

The HL-C1 series provides an ultra-fast sampling rate that is the high-
est level in the industry for displacement sensors in the same class.It
allows ultra high-speed measurement of rotating, vibrating and moving
workpieces within a wide measurement range of Ⳳ20mm.

Linearity of ⴣ0.1% F.S.

The adoption of a linear image sensing method provides high-preci­sion measurement with a linearity of Ⳳ0.1% F.S. (for white ceramic
plates).

Touch panel operation,
Easy and compact

A variety of setting and measurement
data can be displayed easily.(Option)

Color differences
unimportant

The linear image sensing method that
has been adopted all but eliminates loss
in resolution due to changes in the
amount of light received that occurs with
conventional PSD type sensors. Even
black rubber that does not reflect much
light can be measured with high preci­sion.

Almost no change in measurement data
due to color difference

T wo sensors can be connected to a controller

The controller has two independent channels for input and output
which allow up to two sensors to be connected.Furthermore, the con­troller includes a computational function for carrying out level differ­ence and thickness measurement without the need for a digital panel
controller, thus providing additional cost savings.

Upcoming models

A general-purpose type sensor with a center measuring distance of
85mm and a 50mm type will be released in the near future to respond
to an even wider range of applications.

Ultra-compact laser collimated sensors

Class 1

The industry’s smallest sensor head

The most compact size (HL-T1001A/T1005A) and yet the highest
level of performance in their class. These sensors save space.

Resolution of 4µm

A high resolution of 4!m (at an average 64 cycles) allows high-preci­sion positioning and size judgement.

Long sensing range

Long sensing range of 500mm (HL-T1005A/T1010A) and 2m
(HL-T1001A) are available.

Adoption of a Class 1 laser

The adoption of a Class 1 laser (IEC/JIS) eliminates the need for safe­ty countermeasures, so that these sensors can be used in photoelec­tric sensor applications with confidence.

High-precision judgement even
from minute differences in light intensity

The sensors are sensitive to
minute differences in light
intensity, so that they can
judge even the opacity of
glass and turbidity of liquids.
In addition, the amount of light
received can be displayed as
a percentage to allow you to
defermine permeation rates.

Minimum sensing object diameter 8µm/

The laser with a beam diameter of 1mm can sense extremely small
objects with dimensions in micrometers such as bonding wires.

Computations for 2 sensors are possible

The computation unit (option) just needs to be connected between the
two controllers to enable computations (addition and subtraction) to be
carried out for two sensors.No digital panel controller is needed either.
