Product Description:
The HG-C series represents a line of compact CMOS laser displacement sensors designed specifically for industrial automation applications requiring stable and highly accurate distance and position measurements. Each sensor incorporates a sophisticated CMOS laser optical system paired with a built-in mirror, allowing for a slim device profile without compromising the high measurement accuracy typically expected from specialized displacement sensors. To facilitate ease of use, a 7-segment digital display is integrated into each sensor, directly showing the measured distance in millimetres. This feature enables operators to easily verify the readings and configure threshold values without the need for additional programming tools.
These sensors are available with five different measurement centre distances: 30 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm, 200 mm, and 400 mm. The measuring range varies accordingly, spanning from ±5 mm to as wide as ±200 mm. Repeatability is dependent on the model, ranging between 10 μm and 800 μm. Regarding linearity, the 30 mm, 50 mm, and 100 mm models maintain an accuracy of ±0.1% full scale (F.S.), while sensors with longer measurement ranges provide linearity values of ±0.2% F.S. or ±0.3% F.S. Output options include analog voltage (0–5 V) and analog current (4–20 mA), alongside NPN or PNP open-collector control outputs that support selectable Light-ON or Dark-ON modes for versatile operation.
The HG-C sensor range is enclosed in a rugged and compact housing that complies with an IP67 rating, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments. They operate effectively within a temperature range of -10°C to +45°C and exhibit resistance to both vibration and shock. Power requirements consist of a 12–24 V DC supply with low current consumption, capped at 40 mA or less at 24 V DC. Users can select from response times of 1.5 ms, 5 ms, or 10 ms to suit their specific application needs. Furthermore, depending on the particular model, the HG-C series sensors have obtained internationally recognized certifications including CE, UKCA, FDA, and UL/c-UL.
Features:
The sensor features a compact CMOS optical design that incorporates a built-in mirror. This innovative design reduces the overall sensor depth without compromising the accuracy, achieving precision comparable to that of displacement sensors.
Measurements are clearly presented on a digital display calibrated in millimetres. The 7-segment display directly shows the measured distance, which simplifies both threshold adjustments and on-site verification tasks.
It offers multiple measuring ranges, with centre distances of 30 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm, 200 mm, and 400 mm. These ranges enable coverage of measurement spans from ±5 mm up to ±200 mm, accommodating various application needs.
High repeatability is a key feature, varying from as low as 10 micrometres on the HG-C1030 model to 800 micrometres on the HG-C1400 when measuring distances between 200 and 400 mm. This ensures consistent and reliable measurement results.
The device supports dual analog outputs, providing both 0–5 V voltage and 4–20 mA current outputs. These outputs facilitate external data acquisition and scaling for integration with other systems.
Users can select the response time from three options—1.5 ms, 5 ms, or 10 ms—allowing them to balance measurement speed against stability according to specific application requirements.
Control output is flexible, with options for either NPN or PNP configurations. It features an open-collector transistor output with selectable Light-ON or Dark-ON operation modes, as well as built-in short-circuit protection for enhanced reliability.
Designed for tough industrial environments, the sensor carries an IP67 rating, making it dust-tight and resistant to water ingress. This ensures dependable performance under demanding conditions.
Compliance and certification are comprehensive, including CE marking (covering EMC and RoHS), UKCA certification, FDA laser notice compliance, and UL/c-UL recognition. These credentials guarantee adherence to international standards.
Finally, the sensor is energy efficient, consuming 40 mA or less at 24 V DC, and 65 mA or less at 12 V DC, helping to reduce operational power costs.
