Are you an engineer in Singapore, Malaysia, or Batam tasked with critical, high-precision measurement and inspection? You know the headaches: unstable readings on challenging materials, complex setups that eat up valuable time, and bulky sensors that compromise compact machine designs.
It’s time to put those frustrations behind you. The OMRON ZP-L Laser Displacement Sensor series is engineered to solve these exact problems, delivering not just exceptional detection stability but also a remarkable focus on optimal usability. It’s the next generation of laser displacement sensing, designed to streamline your work and boost your automation lines.
Unmatched Stability Across Diverse Materials
In the demanding industrial environment, from automotive coatings to semiconductor fabrication, your sensor needs to perform flawlessly regardless of the target’s properties. The OMRON ZP-L achieves this through its industry-leading sensing performance.
- Wide Dynamic Range: The ZP-L is equipped with a unique custom CMOS image sensor and advanced sensing algorithms that allow it to stably measure an unprecedented range of materials with the same initial configuration. Forget the tedious process of adjusting parameters for every new surface.
- Dark Workpieces: Achieve stable detection on challenging targets like black polished car bodies or black rubber, which typically reflect minimal light.
- Highly Reflective Materials: Maintain consistency on shiny metal workpieces, such as SUS 2B (stainless steel), where excess reflection usually causes instability.
- Flexible Installation (Wide Angle Characteristic): The sensor’s wide dynamic range enables a wide angle characteristic, allowing it to reliably measure a broad area, up to approximately +-85º. This dramatically increases flexibility for installation—meaning you can position the ZP-L diagonally and still get accurate results, a huge advantage when space is restricted.
Optimised Usability: Cutting Time and Effort
OMRON understands that an engineer’s time is precious. The ZP-L is meticulously designed to cut back on the time and effort traditionally wasted on sensor configuration and maintenance.
- Intuitive User Interface: The amplifier units feature a bright, easy-to-read OLED display with an intuitive menu structure. This user-friendly interface is designed to minimise the need to consult thick instruction manuals, allowing for quicker setup and operation.
- Multi-Language Support: The display supports four languages, ensuring on-site workers across diverse teams in Singapore, Malaysia, and Batam can easily understand the configuration and error displays.
- Zero Downtime Monitoring (Wave Inspire ZP Software): Check the sensor’s condition without stopping your equipment. By connecting a PC with the Wave Inspire ZP support software to the switching hub, you can instantly check sensor status, perform configuration, and conduct real-time data verification. No data loggers or complex PLC programming required for quick operational checks.
- High-Speed, Synchronised Data: For advanced verification and high-velocity events, the ZP-L excels at data retrieval. It offers:
- High-Speed Retrieval: Measurement values can be retrieved at 1 ms intervals for accurately charting rapid equipment behaviour.
- High Simultaneity: When using multiple sensor units, the timing of data measurement is synchronised to within a mere, ensuring high-quality data verification without timing deviations.
Compact Design for Modern Automation
With equipment shrinking, the size of your components matters. The ZP-L sensor head is designed to be one of the smallest and lightest in its class, particularly reducing its height.
- Easy Integration: This compact size simplifies embedding the sensor into machinery where space is severely limited, making it an ideal choice for the latest automation systems.
- Simplified Rigidity Design: The lighter sensor head also simplifies the equipment rigidity design, allowing for more agile and efficient machine movements.
