The ultra-slim unit with a thickness of 8 mm 0.315 in allows easy installation in a limited space such as the inside of equipment.

The belt-shaped laser beam with a measurement width of 10 mm 0.394 in is used for measurement of dimensions and positions.

The HG-T series boasts repeatability^*2 of 1 μm 0.039 mil and offers the highest^*1 measurement accuracy in the industry.

Two types of sensor heads, one with a standard type receiver and the other with a slim type receiver, are available.

Side view attachment (optional) is available for the standard type sensor head HG-T1010. This attachment can bend the laser beam at a right angle to allow flexible installation of the sensor head.

* Two side view attachment units are required when using the attachment on both emitter and receiver. * The slim type sensor head HG-T1110 cannot be mounted with the side view attachment. * Be sure to confirm proper detection using actual equipment in advance when using the side view attachment.

■Application example: Lithium-ion battery winding section Use of the side view attachment enables the installation of the sensor head closer to the winding section than when a conventional sensor head is used, thus contributing to the improvement of winding accuracy.

The standard type sensor head HG-T1010 indicates the direction of receiver displacement relative to the emitter on the controller's display screen and with the beam axis adjustment indicators on the receiver in an easy-to-understand fashion.

* The slim type sensor head HG-T1110 displays the displacement information only on the
controller's display section.

The HG-T series features a protection structure of IP67(IEC) so it can be used in a place where the product may be exposed to water or large amounts of dust.

* Note that if the beam emitting / receiving surfaces of the sensor head are adhered with water or dust, correct measurements become inaccurate. * The sensor head is watertight, but the connectors are not structurally resistant to dust, water or corrosion. Therefore, the HG-T series cannot be submerged in water or placed under falling water for measurement operation. Be sure to use the product in an appropriate environment.

The 2-line digital display simultaneously shows head measurement (measured value) and judgment value (calculated value).

The high-contrast LCD provides sharp and clear indications and wide viewing angle.

Values between allowable maximum and minimum values are indicated in green. Values outside of the allowable range are indicated in orange. This provides at-a-glance understanding of the margin to the tolerance limits.

Notifies when the detection performance decreases due to accumulated stains.

Checks the degree of contamination based on the amount of light of the reference waveform (considered as 100 %). * The reference waveform can be confirmed by using a combination of the “HG-T Configuration Tool” USB-based PC setting software and USB communication unit SC-HG1-USB or RS-485 communication unit SC-HG1-485.

The judgment level can be adjusted according to the degree of transparency.

The judgment filter value can be adjusted for the prevention of erroneous detections due to fine foreign matters.
The judgment filter value can be set to a desired value between 3 and 50.

Increasing the filter value ignores values resulting from foreign matters.

If there is a sudden change in the edge position of the work piece, the change is invalidated and the judgement value is stabilized.
* This change will be applied from production in November 2020.

The USB communication unit provides convenient functions that facilitate the setting of the HG-T series while observing the waveform of received light by operating the dedicated USB-based PC setting software. The USB-based PC setting software can be downloaded free from our website.
