ZX2-XC1R

## **ZX1 & ZX2 SERIES** 

Compact displacement sensing 

» All-in-one housing 

» Highly stable measurement of any surface » Plug & play – simple operation 

## The highest performance… 

_The ZX1 and ZX2 series of displacement sensors give you best-in-class speed, accuracy and ease-of-use. For example, it has a response time as low as 60 µs and a measuring cycle as low as 30 µs. Perhaps the best thing about the new ZX1 and ZX2 series is its highly stable measurement of any color or surface condition – including metals, plastics and shiny materials. The result? Superior quality assurance and optimized productivity for your machines._ 

## **Benefits** 

- Wide range of sensing distances 

- Stable measurement for objects with any surface 

- Best-in-class performance for accuracy and speed 

- World’s smallest sensing head – for easy mounting 

- Simple configuration via one-button ‘Smart Tuning’ 

- Reliable measurement in harsh environments 

- Integrated display

## …for optimized productivity 

## **Stable detection on any surface** 

## **All-in-one housing** 

## **Plug & Play** 

The ZX1 and ZX2 easily handle previously difficult surfaces such as dark matt-type and shiny surfaces. This ability eliminates production line stoppages caused by sensor failure, and also minimizes stoppages caused when the target’s surface is changed. This highly stable measurement is a result of the advanced HSDR (High Speed Dynamic Range) CMOS camera chip and the step-less laser power adjustment algorithm. 

The ZX1 displacement sensor includes an integrated amplifier. So you only need to mount one component. This not only saves time and space but also simplifies cabling. In addition the ZX2 offers one of the world’s smallest displacement sensor heads. 

These compact, easy-tomount sensors are also easy to configure. Just one button press is all it takes to ‘teach’ the sensor about which surface type it is sensing. Perfect for fast machine installation, and ideal for use when product designs are changed.

## One range – multiple applications 

With Omron’s new ZX1 and ZX2 displacement sensors you have the ideal solution for almost all of your displacement measuring tasks. For example, whether  you need to check the tension of a paper-roll feed or the closure of a lid, the ZX1 and ZX2 measurement sensors provide a wide range of solutions to fit your application. That’s because these precision measuring sensors are not only fast and highly reliable, they are also extremely flexible – with measuring distances from 20mm to 1000mm.

With an ingress protection rating of IP67 you are assured of highly reliable measurements even in harsh environments. Thanks to the robotic cable, the sensing head can even be mounted on moving parts. 

## ZX2 advanced functionality **that’s easy to use** 

## **Hold functions for more flexibility** 

With discrete hold functions equipped within the amplifier, the ZX2 provides a variety of measurement timing functions, which enable you to easily realize otherwise difficult measurement results. Five possible function values can be determined: average, peak-topeak, sample, bottom and peak. 

## **Scalable output for enhanced flexibility** 

The ZX2 includes a scaling function which allows you to configure the value on the digital display, as well as the analog output to the dimension of the application. The analog output can be configured to either output voltage or current. 

## **Smart Tuning – for easy configuration** 

The ZX2 also has a one-button press function for fast and simple configuration, as well as offering the above advanced features for enhanced measuring. 

## **Two calculations** 

Two ZX2 sensors can be used to measure the thickness or step for example, of a target. All you need to do is connect the calculating unit between the two amplifiers.

## The complete range of Omron measurement sensors 

As a total sensing solutions provider Omron offers a choice of inspection principles and technologies to provide the solution that best-fits your application. To ensure the highest inspection performance these smart measurement sensors offer accurate, reliable and fast measurement. 

## HigH perfOrmAnCe in THe 3 meASuremenT DiSCipLineS 

## Displacement/Distance 

In addition to the ZX1 and ZX2 series Omron offers the ZS family of laser sensors for ultra-critical applications. This provides outstanding measurement performance on all kinds of material and includes a very wide range of sensor heads as well as a scalable concept to provide a highly versatile platform. In addition, the new ZW Confocal Displacement Sensor has no electrical components and is therefore ideal for applications where there is high electrical and/or magnetic noise. 

## profile measurement 

The smart profile sensors in the ZG series provide an easy to use solution for scanning the profile of an object with a laser beam. Depending on the height, the laser beam is reflected differently and creates the profile information. By moving the sensor or the object, the complete surface can be inspected. 

## position/Diameter/Width 

Omron’s ZX-GT smart laser micrometer is the perfect choice to accurately determine the position or diameter of an object. The object interrupts the laser beam, which allows the edges of an object to be determined.
