Ultra High-Accuracy Laser Displacement Sensors

CDX Series

World’s No. 1 Linearity Developed image sensor: ATMOS Direct Ethernet connection Equipped with a Web Server

Developed image sensor: ATMOS
Direct Ethernet connection
Equipped with a Web Server

A fusion of ultra high-accuracy and ease-of-use

Measurement accuracy that we have accumulated know-how over decades , since our first laser displacement sensor was introduced to market.
A simple system structure from research of various user needs and operability with a new concept of a built-in Web server for displacement sensors.
Featuring a fusion of ultra high accuracy and easy-to-use, the perfection as a laser displacement sensor has been optimized to the upmost limits.

Realize World’s No. 1 Linearity

Featuring the World’s No. 1 linearity that easily satisfies the [+/-0.015% F.S.] catalog specification, CDX series models realize measurements with significantly higher levels of accuracy than the conventional model.
- Workpiece angle: +/-0°, diffuse mode.
  For measurement conditions, refer to the footnote of Lineup/specifications.

Advanced optical system and highly-rigid body

In order to enable ultra high-accuracy measurements to be performed, a specially-designed optical system and rigid body with an independent base unit structure have been adopted.
Featuring advanced levels of both accuracy and high speed, causes of errors have been successfully shut out.

Equipped with Neo LD lens

The light receiving lens has been customized to enable light reflected from the measurement target to be focused with high accuracy on the light receiving element. Error-causing spot distortions that arise due to lens aberration have been decreased significantly.
Neo LD: Neo Low Dispersion

Newly Developed Image Sensor for Highly Accurate,
High-speed, and Stable Measurements

New

Newly developed image sensor: ATMOS

In order to achieve the World’s No. 1 Linearity, ATMOS image sensors were newly developed with a light receiving element featuring a CDX specialized design.
By applying the latest technology, accuracy has been increased by 3.3 times that of the conventional model.

ATMOS: Auto Tuning cMOS

Industry first

Feedback-free high-speed shutter

With conventional image sensors, feedback control to the shutter could not keep up with sudden changes in receiving light levels caused by changes in workpiece colors, momentary inabilities to perform measurements would be caused, resulting in response delays.
With newly developed ATMOS image sensors, measurements can be performed without the need for feedback control thanks to an industry-first algorithm.
Because momentary inabilities to perform measurements and response delays have been eliminated, real-time measurements are now possible.

Stable measurements even with Class 1 lasers

With ATMOS image sensors, stable measurements are possible even with a Class 1 laser thanks to their high level of sensitivity.
Even when measuring black workpieces such as tires, highly accurate measurements can be performed without using a high output laser.
Stable measurement of black workpieces is possible while ensuring the safety of worker’s eyes.

High-speed measurement: Max. sampling period of 12.5 μs (Measuring frequency: 80 kHz)

With highly sensitive ATMOS image sensors, ultra high-speed shutter speeds are possible as the required exposure time is minimized.
Because sampling periods have been reduced to 12.5 μs, 1/8th of the conventional model, these sensors can be utilized for application that require ultra high-speed measurements.

Direct Network Connections are Possible without Use of a Controller

New

Direct Ethernet connection

Because an Ethernet serial interface is built-in to the sensor head, connection to a network is possible without use of a controller.
Not only can the cost of a controller be eliminated, but any worries about securing space for controller installation can also be forgotten.

No controller required. Simply add new sensors to the hub.

Operation is possible by connecting directly to a PC LAN port

Of course, connection to a PLC Ethernet port is also possible

Equipped with a Web Server

New

Setup software is unnecessary

The CDX series features a new Web server. Using a web browser on the computer connected to the same network, browsing and controlling measured values and setup contents are possible.
Use is possible without need for a dedicated computer software.

Main functions

Simultaneous display for 4 CHs

Distance monitor

With the CDX series, judgment settings can be configured for channels 1 to 4. The measured values for each channel can be displayed at once on a graph, allowing for simple comparison of measurement data. Moreover, monitoring of speed and thickness of transparent objects in addition to displacement is possible simultaneously.
No data logger required

Storage

Measured values for up to 100,000 points can be stored. By operating using a browser, data can be viewed and CSV files can be downloaded.
Masking of unnecessary areas

Light distribution

By monitoring receiving light waveforms, receiving light levels and mounting angle can be confirmed. Thanks to a newly developed mask function, even if there are unnecessary objects or ambient light in the measurement range, those can be masked to enable measurements to be performed free of influence.
