Ultra High-speed・High-precision Laser Displacement Sensor HL-C2

HL-C2 Sensor Heads 

Combining Panasonic's accumulated know-how in measurement technology with the latest digital technology, Panasonic has created the versatile Laser Displacement Sensor HL-C2. The HL-C2 Sensor functions stably and consistently, even for extremely difficult applications such as measuring variations in HDD surfaces or sensing very shiny objects. By using Panasonic's unique new optical system, high density light-receiving cells and a cutting-edge sampling technology, a wider variety of objects can now be measured with greater precision, stability, and speed than ever before.

Characteristics

  • Resolution Up To 0.01μm, Regardless Of Sampling Frequency 
  • Sampling Frequency Up To 100kHz 
  • Unaffected By Color Or Surface Condition Of The Object 
  • Small Beam Spot Type: ø20μm To ø400μm / Linear Beam Spot Type: 20x700μm to 400x6500μm 
  • Linearity Error, Max ±0.02% F.S. 
  • Compact Design 
  • Sensing Range From 10mm ± 1mm Up To 350 ± 200mm 

HL-C2 Controller 

The compact and multi-functional HL-C2C Controller unit shows how powerful this new Sensor Series is. A flexible combination of Controller and Sensor heads allows cost-effective service and maintenance. The Controller can use measurements taken by the two Sensors to instantaneously calculate critical values. The compact touch panel, which is extremely easy to operate, can, in turn, display such critical values or be used in combination with the Controller to calculate results, e.g. for thickness or difference measurement. Moreover, all adjustments and results can be transmitted via USB 2.0, RS232C or Ethernet to a normal PC.

Instantly Detect Distance With Time of Flight (ToF) Camera Sensors

Panasonic Time of Flight (ToF) Cameras are compact, real-time, sensing cameras based on the ToF principle. Available in indoor and outdoor models, these cameras instantly detect distance between the camera and the targeted object with depth, infrared, and color (RGB) images. The GC1 indoor model produces RGB (640x480), depth map (320x240) (640x480) images. As well, engineers no longer need separate cameras for the depth, IR, and color images with 14/16/36 bit data formats. The HC4W outdoor model has a wide 90° FOV and is used in various applications such as security, autonomous vehicles and robotics.
