Ultra High-Accuracy Laser Displacement SensorsCDX Series
World’s No. 1 Linearity
- Developed image sensor: ATMOS
- Direct Ethernet connection
- Equipped with a Web Server

System Configuration

○ Ensure that the overall cable length from the power supply to the sensor head is within 30 m, and the number of Sensor Head Extension Cables to be connected must be up to two.
Also ensure that the overall cable length when the CDA series amplifier unit is used is within 10 m.
(This length restriction does not apply to the Ethernet cable.)

Displacement sensor amplifier unit CDA series
The CDA series amplifier unit is equipped with an organic EL display on which both Japanese characters and English lettering can be viewed with clarity. Control can be performed using either analog or control outputs, while thickness and height difference measurements can be performed using two sensor heads.

●If using an amplifier unit, some settings for the CDX series cannot be confirmed or changed. For details, see the CDX series user's manual.
●On the CDX series, CH1 is the only output that can be set and used with an amplifier unit.
●The CDX series does not support CC-Link communication.
●The resolution of the analog outputs (shown below tables) will be lower than that when using Ethernet communication. CDA-DM2 can achieve the same resolution as Ethernet communication by using the scaling function to narrow the measurement range.
