Description

Precision dimensional measurement and positioning are highly optimized using the Omron ZX-LT005 through-beam laser sensor head. Operating within the high-performance ZX series platform, this optical micrometer head utilizes a visible-light semiconductor laser transmitter paired with a dedicated receiver to establish a highly focused measuring field. This configuration enables exceptional sensitivity for detecting minute components, measuring outer diameters, and managing material edges in automated assembly and inspection processes.

Engineered for high-speed industrial lines, the ZX-LT005 sensor head delivers a consistent 5 mm measurement width with minimal deviation under varying environmental conditions. Its rugged structural design features a polyetherimide case and high-quality glass optical covers, ensuring optical alignment and mechanical stability over extended cycles of continuous operation.

Features

• Utilizes a high-precision visible-light semiconductor laser light source with a 650 nm wavelength.
• Laser safety standard compliant with JIS Class 1 guidelines, ensuring a safe working environment under standard operation.
• Provides a flat 5 mm measurement width for highly accurate edge detection, diameter verification, and gap width analysis.
• Supplied with a robust connector relay and a standard 500 mm connection cable.
• Compatible with dedicated extension cables to extend the functional transmission range up to 10 meters.
• High thermal stability with a low temperature characteristic of only 0.2% FS/degC.

Applications

• In-line outer diameter measurement of wires, tubes, and medical-grade piping.
• High-speed edge control and tracking in continuous film web guiding systems.
• Precise dimensioning, verification, and positioning of electronic components and semiconductor lead frames.
• Gap and slot dimension checking on precision CNC machined metal components.

Installation Guidelines

• Optical Alignment: Ensure the transmitter head and receiver head are rigidly mounted and parallel. Any angular misalignment will directly affect measurement accuracy and system linearity.
• Cleaning: Keep the optical glass covers free from dust, oil, and moisture. Clean only with non-abrasive optical cloth and isopropyl alcohol if required.
• Wiring: Route the sensor cable separately from high-voltage electrical lines or frequency inverter power lines to eliminate the risk of electromagnetic interference.
• Environmental Conditions: Do not install in environments subject to direct water spray or high humidity that could lead to condensation on the optical lenses.

Compliance and Certifications

• JIS Class 1 Laser Product
• IEC 60825-1 Class 1 Compliant
• CE Mark Compliant (when integrated with compliant ZX-series amplifier units)
