100 μs, fast sampling rate

Ultra high-speed sampling of 100 μs has now been achieved, thus enabling ultra high-speed measurement of rotating, vibrating and moving objects.

Resolution of 1 μm 0.039 mil, linearity of ±0.1 % F.S.

Now available with ultra-precise 1 μm 0.039 mil resolution measurement capability (HL-C105□) and a linearity of ±0.1 % F.S. (for all models).

High precision measurement is now possible, unaffected by the surface condition of the detected object

All deficiencies inherent in the conventional PSD sensing method have now been solved. Whereas the PSD method measures position information from the center of gravity of the total light quantity distribution of the light spots connected along each light element, the linear image sensor method measures the peak position values of the light spots themselves. This advancement now makes high-precision measurement possible, regardless of the surface condition of the object whether for metal hairline surface cracks or for non-reflective black rubber.

■Measures wide changes over long ranges
The long and wide range capabilities over 350 mm ± 200 mm 13.780 in ± .874 in allow large changes to be measured. Even if the object position hanges, there is no need to change the sensor head settings or position.

■High speed and high precision even over long and wide ranges with an ultra-small head
High-speed and high-precision performance has been achieved in an ultra-small head of W26.6 x H82 x D87 mm W1.047 x H3.228 x D3.425 in with a high-speed sampling of 100 μs at a resolution of 10 μm 0.394 mil, and a linearity of ±0.1 % F.S.

FDA regulations conforming types are available [HL-C135C-BK10, HL-C1□F(-BK)]

FDA regulations conforming types, most suitable for equipment used in the USA, are now available.

Equipped with serial input / output

An RS-232C interface for serial input and output is provided so that settings can be retrieved and saved.
Measurement values can also be retrieved.

A convenient, intelligent monitor (HL-C1AiM) is available (optional)

An intelligent monitor is provided capable of the waveform display of each measurement condition setting and of measurement values as well as monitoring of measurement data and received light intensity data. It can perform waveform monitoring that was only possible until now with a conventional oscilloscope and can easily set each measurement condition and function with the aid of a PC.

Waterproof sensor head construction, compliant with IP67 rated protection

The HL-C1 series can withstand water splashes.

Easy maintenance with sensor head compatibility

Maintainability has been significantly improved.
Compatibility has been achieved through the incorporation of correction data into the sensor heads themselves. This new sensor series no longer needs the amount of maintenance usually required for conventional displacement sensors of this class.

Calculations can be performed when 2 sensor heads are used

The built-in calculation function allows measurement of gap and thickness without requiring a digital panel controller, thus saving further on costs and space.

Compact controller and front connection reduces setup space

The ultra-compact controller HL-C1C-M with dimensions of W40 x H120 x D74 mm W1.575 x H4.724 x D2.913 in requires much less space for installation. Tight installation is also possible. Furthermore, the cables can be connected directly or to a removable terminal block, so that all connections come from the same direction in order to further save space.

Enhanced functionality

The HL-C1 series incorporates a great number of useful functions, including hold function, calculation function, filter function and a hysteresis-setting function, which facilitate convenient usage in a variety of diverse applications.

■Low-pass / High-pass filter functions
<Low-pass filter function>
For example, if the surface condition of a metal object causes noises that interfere with accurate measurement, the use of the low-pass filter function will reduce the effects of noises and allow for stable measurement of displacement.

<High-pass filter function>
When measuring seams and gaps in objects that undergo large displacement changes due to vibration or tilting, such as measuring the eccentricity of a rotating object, this function will minimize the effects of these undulations and enable accurate measurement of seams and gaps.

■Analog output switching function during alarm output
During measurement, if the unit becomes incapable of performing measurements due to excessive or insufficient incident light intensity (during alarm output), this function allows the analog output to be switched to either hold the data obtained just previously, or to output a fixed value.
If the fixed value is selected, one of two options can be chosen for the analog output during alarm output: the output of the maximum value (voltage output: +10.9 V, current output: 29.5 mA) or the output of the minimum value (voltage output: -10.9 V, current output: 0 mA).

■Hold functions
The HL-C1 series incorporates 4 hold modes.

■Data buffering function
It is possible to accumulate data up to 48,000 data into a controller temporarily in order to capture measurement data into a PC. All the accumulated data can be captured into the PC with HL-C1AiM. Used for reading and storing all data including the verification of measurement data when introduced as well as all post-measurement data.
