Product Description:
The HG-C series consists of compact CMOS laser displacement sensors designed to provide stable and highly accurate distance and position measurements in industrial automation applications. Each sensor incorporates a CMOS laser optical system combined with a built-in mirror, enabling a slim body profile while delivering measurement precision comparable to specialized displacement sensors.
A key feature of these sensors is the 7-segment digital display which directly presents measured distances in millimeters. This allows operators to easily verify readings and set threshold values on-site without the need for any external programming devices.
The HG-C series offers five distinct measurement center distances: 30 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm, 200 mm, and 400 mm. Corresponding measuring ranges vary from ±5 mm to ±200 mm, with repeatability depending on the model ranging between 10 µm and 800 µm. For linearity, the 30 mm, 50 mm, and 100 mm models maintain ±0.1% full scale, while the longer-range sensors have linearity specifications of ±0.2% or ±0.3% full scale.
These sensors provide versatile output options, including analog voltage (0–5 V), analog current (4–20 mA), and NPN or PNP open-collector control outputs. Users can select the control output operation mode as either Light-ON or Dark-ON, depending on the application requirements.
Built into a compact enclosure with an IP67 rating, the HG-C series sensors are robust against environmental factors such as dust and water ingress. They operate reliably within temperatures ranging from -10°C to +45°C and are designed to withstand vibration and shock encountered in industrial settings. Powered by a 12–24 V DC supply, these sensors consume a low current of 40 mA or less at 24 V DC. Additionally, response times can be chosen from 1.5 ms, 5 ms, or 10 ms to suit different application speeds.
Depending on the specific model, the HG-C series sensors are certified to meet CE, UKCA, FDA, and UL/c-UL standards, ensuring compliance with global safety and quality regulations.
Features:
The compact CMOS optical design features a built-in mirror that significantly reduces the sensor's depth without compromising the high accuracy typical of displacement sensors. This innovative design ensures precise measurements while maintaining a slim profile.
Measurements are conveniently displayed in millimetres on a clear 7-segment digital display. This direct readout simplifies the process of setting thresholds and allows for easy on-site verification of measured distances.
The sensor supports multiple measuring ranges, with centre distances available at 30, 50, 100, 200, and 400 mm. These options enable measurement spans covering from ±5 mm up to ±200 mm, catering to a wide variety of applications.
High repeatability is guaranteed, with precision ranging from as low as 10 μm on the HG-C1030 model to 800 μm on the HG-C1400 when measuring distances between 200 and 400 mm. This ensures consistent and reliable results over repeated measurements.
For external data acquisition and scaling purposes, dual analog outputs are provided. These include a 0–5 V voltage output and a 4–20 mA current output, offering versatile options for integration with other systems.
The response time of the sensor is selectable among 1.5 ms, 5 ms, and 10 ms. This feature allows users to balance between measurement speed and signal stability according to their specific requirements.
The control output is available in either NPN or PNP configurations, utilizing an open-collector transistor output. It supports selectable Light-ON or Dark-ON operation modes and is equipped with short-circuit protection to enhance reliability.
The sensor is rated IP67, indicating it is completely dust-tight and resistant to water ingress. This robust protection makes it suitable for deployment in harsh and demanding industrial environments.
It comes with wide-ranging certifications including CE (compliant with EMC and RoHS), UKCA, FDA laser notice compliance, as well as UL and c-UL recognitions, ensuring adherence to international standards.
Despite its advanced features, the sensor maintains low power consumption, drawing 40 mA or less at 24 V DC and 65 mA or less at 12 V DC, thereby promoting energy efficiency.

Applications:
Position and Presence Detection
This application involves verifying the delivery and accurate positioning of workpieces on both transfer robots and assembly stations. Ensuring proper placement is critical for efficient automation and workflow.
Stack Height and Quantity Verification
This process measures the height of stacked items or confirms the number of layers in material handling scenarios. Accurate layer counting helps maintain inventory control and production consistency.
Thickness and Dimension Inspection
Inline measurement techniques are used to inspect parts, sheets, and various components during manufacturing. These inspections guarantee that products meet specified dimensional tolerances and quality standards.
Displacement Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of displacement provides essential feedback for the operation of positioning stages, presses, and forming equipment. This feedback aids in maintaining precision throughout manufacturing processes.
Quality Control
Quality assurance is supported by go/no-go inspections that utilize threshold values derived from digital distance measurements. This method ensures that components comply with predefined criteria before moving forward.
Robot Guidance
Analog distance feedback is supplied to robotic systems to support pick-and-place tasks and automated material handling. This guidance enhances the accuracy and efficiency of robotic operations.
