Pumps & Sensors Panasonic HG-C Laser distance sensor Panasonic offers the laser distance sensor HG-C with a repeatability of 10µm and a response time of 1.5ms at an unbeatable price. The distance sensor HG-C opens up many new possibilities for industrial automation. For example, the sensor is optimally suited for 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 types of material. Measuring can take place both stationary and dynamically. As there is both a digital and an analog output signal (0 - 5V) available for integration into the process, it is possible to perform dynamic measurements or control loops or determine profiles and contours of many different components. You only need the function keys to configure the sensor and immediately the measured distance will be displayed in millimetres on the built-in four-digit display. Additional digital inputs are used to trigger the sensor, to control the laser power, and to perform zero adjustment.

The devices manufactured from 1.4571 stainless steel and PTFE provide a IP68/IP69K protection rating. Designed for reliable operation even with frequent temperature variations, they are especially suitable for use in rugged industrial environments. The sensors connect to the IKM 122 Ex amplifier. The first models to be introduced are M12 and M18 type sensors. They are connected via a 2 meter FEP cable.

The wider distance between the emitter and receiver decreases the possibility of collision with the objects they are designed to detect. The fixed width of the sensing head eliminates the need to perform beam alignment during installation. Reliability is increased significantly by encapsulating areas, such as PCB to cable connections in resin. This helps prevent malfunctions caused by vibrations and impacts and means the cabled PM25 and PM-45 series offer an IP64 environmental resistance rating. All models in the PM-25/45/65 series are equipped with reverse polarity protection so that the sensor is not damaged by incorrect wiring. www.panasonic-electric-works.co.uk Contact: [email protected] blhnobel.com Contact: [email protected] blhnobel.com ©2016 Vishay Precision Group, Inc. ©2016 Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
