DESCRIPTION

  • HL-C203B(E), HL-C203B(E)-MK displacement sensor head achieves ultra high-speed and high-accurate measurement using linear image sensor as light receiv-ing element to be used on equipment that require high-speed operation with high-accuracy.
  • The product is used at diffuse or specular reflection sensor head by installing and setting.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING LASER LIGHT

  • In order to prevent the accident by laser product and protect the users, JIS C 6802-2005 “Safety of laser products” was established based on the regulation of IEC (International electrotechnical Commission). This regulation classifies laser products according to the level of hazard, and provides the safety measures for respective classes.
    HL-C203B(E), HL-C203B(E)-MK are classified as “Class 2 laser products” ac- cording to IEC 60825-1-2007 (JIS C 6802-2005) “Safety of laser products”.

  • Laser hazardous class
    Classification according to IEC 60825-1-2007 (JIS C 6802-2005)

Class Model Description of hazardous evaluation

  • Install the product so the laser beam comes higher or lower than eye level in or-der not to watch the beam directly during operation.
    Laser safety distance (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance: NOHD) is approx. 0.4m. The laser beam must be terminated at the end of its path by a diffuse reflector or an absorber.

  • Please contact our company if the system breaks down. It is not equipped with a function that stops laser radiation automatically during disassembling the sensor head. The users therefore may be exposed to laser beam in disassembling the sensor head.

  • When this product is used in China, affix the Chinese warning label (accessory) on the label in the product.

  • Do not use the system in the manner other than specified in this Instruction Manual.

EXPORT REGULATIONS BY JAPANESE GOVERNMENT

  • HL-C203B and HL-C203B-MK are subject to export control regulation by the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law. Export admission by Japanese government is required before the product is to be exported or brought out of the country. These products are also subject to Article 1.B.3.b.1 of Nuclear Suppliers Group in international export control regime and 2.B.6.b.1 of Wassenaar Arrangement.
  • Please follow the export control regulations required.
    HL-C203BE and HL-C203BE-MK (E type) are not subject to export control regulations under the condition that they are used combined with the non- pertinent controller to export control specified by Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law. When they are combined with the pertinent controller to export control, they are subject to the Law. In this case export admission by Japanese government is required before the product is to be exported or brought out of the country.

Notes:

  1. Measuring conditions are as follows unless otherwise specified; connection with controller, power voltage: 24V DC, ambient temperature: 20°C, sampling cycle: 40μs, average times:256, at measurement center distance, object substance: white ceramic,, and digital measurement value.

  2. Use the external ND filter (optional) in case the amount of reflected beam is too large on Specular Reflection installation.

  3. The measurement range is limits between +0.0 and +5.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs at diffuse reflection), between +0.0 and +4.6mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs at specular reflection), between
    + 3.8 and +5.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 10μs at diffuse reflection), or between +3.6 and +4.6mm (in case the sampling cycle is 10μs at specular reflection).

  4. The figure shows the value at measurement center distance. It is determined by 1/e2 (approximately 13.5%) of center beam intensity. Due to leak light outside the specified area, the reflectance around the detecting point may be higher than at the point and this may affect the measurement value.

  5. The minimum resolution of 0.25μm can be achieved if the sensor head is connected to the controller that is not subject to “Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law”.

  6. The variation in ambient illuminance is ±0.03%F.S. or less.

CAUTIONS
Connection

  • Turn off the power of controller before connecting or disconnecting the connectors.
  • When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, be sure to hold the connector area not to apply extra force to the cable.
  • Be careful not to touch terminals or to let foreign matter get in the connector after disconnecting connectors.
  • Be careful not to apply force to around the connector of standard cable and ex-tension cable. Do not bend the cables near connectors. Failure to do so causes causes disconnection of the cable.
  • When moving the sensor head during operation, install it so the cable not bend bend during movement. Use replaceable extensions cable in case the cable needs bend.

Wiring

  • Do not run the sensor cable along (bundled in parallel) with other wirings. Keep it at least 100mm away from other wires. Run the cable so it is separate from high voltage and power circuit lines. If it is necessary to run the cable in parallel with them, shield it by running through a grounded electrical conduit.
  • Install the product as far away as possible from noise source such as high-voltage lines, high-voltage device, power lines, power device, machines which generate a large starting and stopping surge, welding machines and inverter motor.
  • Do not pull the cable using a force more than 29.4N when routing the cable with the sen-sor head and controller fixed. At least 20 mm is required from the cable connection to the bend. The bending radius must be 30 mm or more.
  • Use only 1 extension cable for connection between one sensor head and a controller.

Warming up time

  •  Allow at least 30 minutes of warming up after turning on the power to ensure the performance of the product.

The measurement range indicator at sampling cycle of 20μs or 10μs lights up at the center of limited measurement range.

MUTUAL INTERFERENCE AREA (Unit: mm)

When installing 2 or more sensor heads side by side, mutual interference occurs if the laser spots from other sensor heads fall within the shaded areas in the right figure. Install sensor heads so the laser spots from other sensor heads fall outside the shaded areas.Panasonic-HL-C203BE-MK-High-Accuracy-
