10-µm Accuracy by 500-mm Range

New standard for dimension measurement.
Cutting-edge laser technology.
Longer, but easier to use.

Features

Measurement at Any Position Best in Class 500 mm

Measurements can be consistently taken within a 500 mm area, whatever stage the work is at or whichever way it is inserted. It can now be set to positions without interference from the work feed and without limitations of size of work area.

Measurement can be consistently taken within a 500-mm area.

10-μm by Non-contact Method Best in its Class

ZX-GT is the only Sensor with the ability to measure and locate position to an accuracy of 10 μm without contact. Unlike conventional through-beam Laser Sensors, the ZX-GT s unique algorithm has the flexibility to meet a wide variety of applications, including the ability to accurately measure glass and mirror surfaces.

Compact like Palm-Top One of the Smallest in its Class

Compact sensor head that can be set in the gap between equipment. Its compact controller is a continuation of the ZX Series.

1/7 in Speed Compared with Conventional Products

Omron s Unique TRIO Algorithm

With Omron s unique TRIO (Triple parallel processing) algorithm, it is possible to take 2000 high-speed samples per second, 7 times greater than previously possible, greatly reducing tact time.

0.5 ms (1/7 of the previous speed)

Cutting-edge Laser Technology

Strong Temperature Compensation

It is important to eliminate the influence of temperature to ensure the accuracy of a measurement. However, the temperature in the field environment changes according to the time and the season. With the ZX-GT, which employs CCD method, the influence on the resolution from temperature changes is greatly reduced leading to an error rate as low as 0.01% (2.8 µm*).

* This is a representative case. Please see the specifications table for the details of the relevant conditions.

Fluctuation in Measurement Value: Using CCD method, consistent measurement achieved even with variation in temperature.

Dedicated Glass Detection Function Integrated MRC Filter

The detection of edges has been a problem for transparent objects with traditional transmission-type Sensors. However, ZX-GT adopts OMRON's unique MRC filter (Mirror Reflection Cut Filter) and CCD methodology. It can accurately detect work that reflects light such as mirror-finished surface or work that allows light to pass through such as glass (including coated glass).

* MRC Filter: OMRON's proprietary optical filter.

CCD elements detects a slight shadow created when a laser light hits the edge of the glass to determine the position of the edge. Even effective with mirror finished surfaces.

Super Parallel Beam Collimate Optical Technology

With OMRON's unique collimate optical technology, the closest to ideal parallel beam is created. Errors are controlled in the measurement area and the longest and most accurate measurement is achieved.

* Collimate Optical Technology
Collimate optical technology allows laser lights to stay parallel using mirror reflection and lens refraction effects, to take advantage of the laser light's high-level of directivity.

CCD Processing Algorithm Sub-pixel Processing

CCD detects the shadow made from measurement objects and by performing sub-pixel calculation, it achieves 10 μm level accuracy.

Measurement accuracy is within 10 µm.

Longer, but Easy to Use

3-way Optical Axis Adjustment (Patent Pending) First in the industry

Three optical axis adjustment functions are integrated for the industry's longest measurement. This function provides the optimal adjustment when the sensor head is installed on-site.

Optical Axis Adjusment using Sensor Head, Controller and PC.

30-m Cable Extension Longest in the industry

The emitter and receiver do not need to be connected with each other. Each cable can be extended up to 30 m. It is perfectly suited for installation into large-scale production line.
