Detecting joints of thin metal plates by multiple CD5 sensors.
By detecting height difference between metal plates by 3 CD5-W150 sensor heads connected to Mitsubishi MELSEC-Q series through control unit UQ1-01 without amplifier for CD5 series and any ladder programs, you can get calculated result directly from MELSEC-Q series and detect the joints of the metal plates easily.

Measuring thickness of the aluminum plate by CD5 series.
You can get measuring result at up to 260k points continuously by installing control unit UQ1 without ladder programs. CSV file is available from the UQ1 series through Mitsubishi MELSEC-Q series.

CD5-W2000 can measure from 2500mm distance maximum in 30um resolution. Good for position control of crane.

CD5-W2000 can measure from 1500mm up to 2500mm in 30um resolution. It can measure diameter of very thin foil coil precisely.

CD5-W2000 can measure level of melted metal from long distance 2500mm maximum to prevent heat.

Finding edge position of the thin metal plate role by CD5-85 for positioning of the label.
It can measure in 1μm repeat accuracy so finding very thin level difference. By utilizing control unit UQ1 series, you can connect CD5 sensor heads to Mitsubishi MELSEC-Q series without ladder programs. Then, you can get measurement result very easily using an application software provided for free of charge.

Measuring angle of iron plate by CD5-W2000.
Its sensing distance is 2000 +/- 500 mm so it can measure distance and calculate angle of the iron plate even if the plate is high temperature.
You can also connect CD5 sensor heads to Mitsubishi MELSEC-Q series using control unit UQ1 series without CD5 amplifier and ladder programs. Then, you can get measurement result and calculation result very easily. In this case, PLC CPU won't have to work for the measurement and calculation.
