High-precision Displacement Sensors Made Easier to Use

Features

Industry’s top-class^*1 measuring performance
High-precision Measurement

The HL-G2 series boasts the industry’s top-class^*1 performance such as resolution^*2 of 0.5 μm 0.020 mil, linearity^*2 of ±0.05 % F.S., sampling period of 100 μs (fastest) and temperature characteristic of 0.03 % F.S./°C. The HL-G2 sensors deliver the performance rivaling those of displacement meters of one class above, thanks to the optimized and balanced devices, optical system, mechanisms and algorithm. The organic EL display offers excellent visibility. The display language can be selected from English, Japanese and Chinese (simplified Chinese).

Built-in controller and communication unit
Easy-to-use Integrated Models

The integrated models feature built-in controllers to facilitate model selection and reduce installation space and cost. The communication type models have built-in communication units for easy connection to a PLC, while the analog output type models are suitable for applications that require continuous acquisition of measurement data from sensors.

Simple and intuitive operation
Setting Tool Software: HL-G2 Configuration Tool

Basic setting operations such as change / writing of settings, monitoring of received light waveform, image output of measured data / graph and high-speed logging can be performed intuitively, so even people unfamiliar with those operations can enter settings easily. Since the sensor settings can be saved to the computer under a name, it is easy to recover the sensor settings if they are accidentally changed, or to expand the settings when adding sensors for the same application.

Setting Tool Software Can Be Operated Even During Equipment Operation^*

Each sensor can be connected to multiple upper-level devices so that the setting tool software can be connected and set even during equipment operation. In the case RS-485 communication is used, there is no need to change the connecting cable.
