Stable measurements are enabled for any color or surface condition, including metals, substrates, elastomers, and transparent materials, through OMRON's unique HSDR-CMOS (High Speed and Dynamic Range) image sensor and a step-less laser power adjustment algorithm.

A line beam is used in addition to an emitter beam when dealing with rough surfaces to average out the amount of reflected light and to offset the amount of light received at a high-speed measurement period of 30 μs in order to reduce variations in received light and to enable stable measurements for moving objects.

The ideal configuration for stable measurements is realized by a single button through the new feature "smart tuning", and no longer depends on the skill of the user. A reliable configuration is achieved by three tuning methods, which can be selected to match the type of object and surface conditions to be measured.

Single smart tuning
Best configuration for stable detection in case of objects do not change by pushing the button for one second

Multi-smart tuning
Ideal configuration for stable detection of changing objects by pushing the button for three seconds

Active smart tuning
Continuous configuration improvement for the stable detection of all locations by pushing the button for five seconds

IP67 protection class enables to use the sensor in harsh environments. A robot cable is used as standard between the head and amplifier, that the unit can be used reliably on moving parts. In addition, as 3D UV bond is used to fix the optical components rather than screws, stress can be controlled and a temperature characteristic 0.02% F.S./°C* is realized.
* If the room temperature varies 1°C, the measured value varies 0.02% F.S. (corresponding to 4μm for the Model ZX2-LD50)

The world's smallest CMOS laser displacement sensor head is realized in a resin case. Enables to mount the sensor in smallest spaces and to minimize measurement errors arising from temperature fluctuations.
* According to OMRON investigation of CMOS laser displacement sensors performed in September 2010.

Measurements to an even higher accuracy are realized for applications that do not require the entire measurement range. If the range of the field is less than the length of the measurement center, linearity accuracy improves by 50% compared with that for the full range.*
* For the ZX2-LD50L/LD100L.

The end of the laser diode lifespan is automatically detected and displayed so maintenance can be performed systematically. On the main digital display of the amplifier, this is indicated by an LED on the back of the head. Accordingly, in case of amplifier is within the control panel, the lifetime can be confirmed by the head and the indications are not missed.

An 11 segment LED display is integrated in the compact housing. Alphanumeric characters can be read with ease and there is no need to refer to a manual.

The calculated results of two sensor heads are displayed on the amplifier unit by just connecting the calculating unit between the two amplifier units. The calculation function can be chosen from the two modes of thickness and subtraction. It is also possible to prevent mutual interference by coupling via the calculating units. (Up to five amplifier units can be connected.)

The amplifier unit is equipped with four bank functions.
Easy change of setup between four modes is supported by just switching between the bank functions.
