[. . . ] U n i q u e P l u g & P l ay Co n ce p t ZX LASER SENSORS for precise measurement Advanced Industrial Automation The ZX laser sensor series from Omron, the world's leading sensor manufacturer, sets new standards in precise measurement sensing. Based on a unique Plug & Play concept, the ZX enables a variety of interchangeable sensor heads to be connected to the same amplifier. This concept not only covers all of your measurement requirements, it also takes the costly and time-consuming `trial-and-error' process out of selecting the best sensor heads for the job! Unique measurement sensing concept from Omron The ZX is the world's smallest and lightest laser measurement sensor, which really expands the design possibilities for production systems. [. . . ] Ideal function settings are possible by using both the displacement mode and the light-intensity mode to meet multiple application needs. Instant results Simply by connecting the amplifier unit to the sensor head and applying power, the distance value and threshold level between the sensor head and object is displayed instantaneously. The built in dual-digital display provides the real distance and can be changed to voltage/ current display or display for intensity of reflective light. Advanced easy-to-use functions Advanced easy-to-use functions provided by the ZX sensor include Scaling, Reverse Display, Display-OFF Mode, ECO Mode, Display Digit Change, Measurement (Timer/Hold Functions), Threshold Setting, I/O Setting, Mutual Interference, Function Lock, Initial Reset, Zero Reset, Derivative Function, Sensitivity Selection and Monitor Focus. Calculation unit for thickness-measurement By inserting a `calculation unit' between two amplifiers the thickness-measurement is easily obtained, and the thickness of measured products will be displayed on the sensor head. This technology (patent pending) eliminates the need for connecting a digital panel meter and the troublesome wiring and setting up associated with it. Flexible mounting direction Thanks to the compact size of the sensor head Omron has been able to develop a side-view attachment (sold separately) that enables a variety of mounting possibilities. This attachment can be used with any of the sensor heads in the ZX sensor range. Resolution Deviation to be detected. Easy-to-see resolution (patent pending). Equipped with a laser lifetime monitor to warn of laser deterioration. Easy to set up and operate The ZX sensor's auto calibration features means that it senses itself before it starts sensing!This eliminates the need for time-consuming calibration routines. In addition, the sensor automatically recognises whether a reflective or through-beam sensor head is connected, and changes to the optimum function setting for fast, accurate operation. OMRON E3X-DA-N Fibre Amplifier. Easy to read digital display shows measurement results or multifunctional settings. Easy-to-see resolution (patent pending) With the resolution display function, a differing resolution based on the object (repeatable high level of accuracy) can be easily verified in real time. This function can verify the resolution by a beam hitting and measuring the object. By displaying the resolution, it is possible to control the level of flexibility over the threshold set-up, and detection results can be quickly confirmed. Easy to maintain The ZX sensor is easy to set up and practically maintains itself. Here's why: Self-diagnostics The ZX sensor features a built-in laser lifetime monitor so that as soon as laser diode deterioration is detected, a warning appears on the sub-digital display. This early detection system enables timely, trouble-free replacement. Teaching functions for fast and easy set-up The ZX sensor features three teaching functions that rival the performance of current photoelectric sensors. These include: " " " " Position teaching For high-precision positioning applications. 2-point teaching For detecting ultra-small level differences between two points. Automatic teaching For teaching under production conditions without stopping the work-piece. Easy-to-read display Setting up and maintaining the ZX sensor is an easy process, thanks to the easy-to-read display on the sensor head.
