The LR-X Series is a remarkably small laser sensor capable of detecting targets based on position and is unaffected by colour, surface finish, or shape. Impressive durability is achieved with its food-grade stainles steel housing (SUS316L), high IP ratings, and guarded cable. Position changes as small as 0.5 mm are possible, along with automatic and real-time intensity adjustment to ensure stable detection on any target.
Features
Compact & Robust Design for Use Anywhere
Whether building a new machine or retrofitting an older one, the ultra-compact size of the LR-X Series makes it easy to integrate into any space. The metal housing and rugged design also ensure it will last in any environment.
Stable Detection of Any Target
Minimum Detectable Position Change: 0.5 mm
The LR-X Series detects targets based on position, not light intensity. This allows for stable detection of targets regardless of colour, surface finish, or shape. This allows the LR-X Series to be used in a wide variety of applications, including those with small position changes.

The LR-T Series of reflective sensors represents a seamless fusion of innovative technology and robust functionality.
Features
Superior Detection Capabilities
The LR-T is designed to detect at long ranges while remaining highly stable. This is achieved due to the HS2 technology used, a combination of Time of Flight detection and a custom integrated circuit. Additionally, the interference prevention and Datum Function allow users to maximize this sensors capability in any situation.
Easy to Use
The LR-T Series is simple to install and calibrate. Flexible mounting options, a visible beam spot, push button teach, and an easy to read display allow for quick setup. Even at long distances, constant feedback is provided with the LR-T's highly visible status indicator.
Laser sensor capable of detecting targets based on both position and contrast (detectable distance: up to 500mm).
Features
Best Detection Ability in its Class
The LR-Z's unique U.C.D. Function allows for stable detection of clear, metallic, or dark targets. This series can also detect purely based on distance, regardless of shape, colour, or surface finish.
Durable & Long Life
The IP68/69K rating means the LR-Z is ready for the roughest of factory environments. Wash-down, oil spray, and many corrosives are no match for the stainless steel body. Additionally, physical impact or even overtightening are not a concern because of the highly durable design.
Simplified Operation
Simple setup and easy operation are at the core of the LR-Z's design. With a simple 1-touch teach, calibrating this sensor is straightforward and quick. A highly visible indicator and a 7-segment display make this sensor very easy to use.
New feature U.C.D. Function Distinguishing a Target From a Background Using the Distance and Received Light
The sensor first registers the distance to the background and the received light, which are used as reference, and then detects the target by sensing that the distance or received light differs from the registered reference when a target comes into the detection area. With the background, stable detection of target is ensured even if the target is a complex shaped object, has changes in colour and surface condition, or is a thin object with a small height difference.

Products Lineup : Laser Displacement Sensors
IX Series image-based laser sensors can measure height anywhere within the area. Camera-based image recognition allows the laser to detect the height of the target point even when workpieces are not perfectly aligned on the production line. The height of where the laser hits the target will vary if the target is tilted or if the target itself is different, but the IX Series can identify the difference in height against the reference. For example, in a parts assembly line, a single IX Series unit can not only check for the presence of parts, but also perform seating checks and other height-based inspections. Thanks to its ability to detect height differences, the IX Series is also free from false detections and errors in the presence of glare from glossy surfaces of metal parts or when the detection target point has the same colour as the background, offering stable automatic inline differentiation.
Features
Unreliable Detection with Conventional Image-Sensors, but Stable Detection with the IX-H
Conventional Image-Sensors
Low contrast targets result in difficult detection
For targets with similar colours or materials, the difference between light and dark is not always clear, which can result in unstable detection.
IX-H
Target contrast does not matter
Height-based detection ensures stable results even when there is low contrast between the target and background.
Unreliable Detection with Conventional Laser-Sensors, but Stable Detection with the IX-H
Conventional Laser-Sensors
Variations in position and orientation results in incorrect detection
Variations in target position and orientation can cause the spot where the laser hits the target to change, resulting in incorrect detection.
IX-H
Position Adjustment tool tracks misaligned targets
The camera follows the position, orientation, and placement of the target, making it possible to identify the target location for every target.
IL Series CMOS multi-function analogue laser sensors are reflective laser displacement sensors that provide the best-in-class detection ability and stability at a reasonable cost. Stable detection is possible without tuning for workpiece types or their surface conditions, so the IL Series can be added to production lines to help make setup, changeover, and product changes easier. With a wide-ranging lineup of sensor heads, including high-accuracy models and long-range (up to 3.5 m) models, these laser sensors can be applied to diverse applications thanks to their broad dynamic range and environmental resistance. 1 μm repeatability allows for use in high-tolerance detection setups that previous sensors could not stably provide.
