Measuring workpiece height for deburring machines
Displacement sensors can be used to measure the height of a workpiece to control the level of a deburring brush.
The CD2H-700 can perform measurement at ranges up to 1200 mm, so the sensors can be placed so that they do not interfere with the movable range of the brush, which allows for stable measurement.

Wear measurement of hanger conveyor rails
The CD22 series laser displacement sensor can be used to measure wear on the rail of a hanger conveyor.
Regular measurement using a maintenance trolley with two laser displacement sensors installed on it makes it possible to determine when maintenance is needed.
With the smallest size (W17.8 × D32 × H44.4 mm) in its class, the CD22 series can be installed inside the rails, allowing for constant measurement to help improve maintainability.

Detecting seal material on pressed products
The CD2H series makes it possible to detect seal material on pressed products.
The CD2H-2452 achieves a repeat accuracy of 10μm and a linearity of ±0.1% of FS, and can measure even minute height differences. Equipped with the same ultra-sensitive ATMOS image sensor as the most advanced displacement sensor CDX series, the CD2H series is also highly resistant to influence from materials and colors, ensuring accurate presence detection.

Wind-off Measurement of Secondary Battery Film
The width of a secondary battery film can be measured using two CD2H series laser displacement sensors.
The width is measured by placing sensors at both ends of the roll and calculating the measurement values of both sensors.
Since the CD2H-700 can perform long-distance measurement at ranges up to 1,200 mm, the sensors can be placed in positions where they will not interfere with the moving parts of equipment. In addition, the sensors can be used for workpieces with a variety of widths without changing the setup as the measurement range is 1,000 mm.

Sorting by pattern of grooves on the shaft
The LS-100CN 2D displacement sensor can be used to sort products by measuring the distance between the grooves on the metal shaft.
The LS can measure along the width of the shaft, making it possible to measure the groove spacing and quantity for sorting.
Using cameras increases the number of devices and inevitably makes system construction complicated. With the all-in-one LS, however, sorting is possible with only one device.
Model: 2D displacement sensor LS-100CN
Positioning of robot arm
When you have to keep the robot arm in parallel with the surface of the objet, you can utilize 3 displacement sensor to measure the distance of 3 points (triangle) and keep the plane that the robot arm exit at parallel with the object surface.
CD22 is small and light weight so it doesn't bother installing at robot arm.
