Introducing a position based laser sensor (laser displacement sensor) allows for consistent loop control during transfer of a sheet or web. KEYENCE offers a lineup of ultra-long range laser displacement sensors that can perform accurate detection even …

KEYENCE America provides precision measurement devices, including high-precision laser distance sensors, position sensors, and non-contact measurement sensors.

KEYENCE's 1D laser displacement sensors enable non-contact measurement of a target's height, position, or distance. By pairing multiple sensors, measurements such as thickness and width can also be performed.

Laser distance sensors - also called laser displacement sensors - may work in several different ways. Comon methods include time-of-flight (in which the sensor derives distance from the time it takes light to reflect) and triangulation (in which distance measurements are achieved by analyzing the angle of the reflected laser beam).

High-accuracy (±0.1 µm) measurement can be performed easily just by placing the part on the stage and pressing a button. Three measurement methods are available: high-accuracy image measurement, non-contact height measurement via a multi-color laser, and contact measurement via a touch probe.

KEYENCE America provides IX series; IX Series image-based laser sensors can measure height anywhere within the area. Camera-based image recognition allows the laser to detect the height of the target point even when workpieces are not perfectly aligned on the production line.

The laser triangulation displacement sensors of the LK-G5000 Series offer high speed and high accuracy for non-contact displacement measurement applications. The sensors utilize advanced hardware such as the RS-CMOS and HDE lens pack to provide reliable results on a range of materials by ensuring the returned light is always in focus.

High-speed sampling improves measurement capability. Stand off up to 1 m 3.3' away The sensors are capable of reliable measurement of various materials and surface types.

Self-contained CMOS Laser Sensor LR-Z series The LR-Z Series is capable of detecting objects based on position or contrast, allowing it to reliably detect metal targets, dark targets, transparent targets, contrast changes, etc.

KEYENCE America's 2D/3D Laser Profile Scanners and 3D Laser Snapshot Sensor are perfect for measuring height, step height, area, angle, radius, point-to-point, point-to-line, and more.
