ZP-L laser displacement sensor

Extremely stable detection and easy-to-use laser displacement sensor

Designed for all busy engineers

We believes that in the future, laser displacement sensors will be selected based on design ease of use.
The ZP-L series not only focuses on detection performance, but also on user interface optimization.
Packed with creative features that enable engineers to reduce the time and effort spent using displacement sensors.

Significant reduction in man-hours required for displacement sensors

The sensing performance can stably complete the detection while maintaining the "initial setting" state.

Use the same settings to detect various materials

The dynamic range*1 is extremely wide, and stable detection quality can be achieved whether it is black glossy workpieces that are difficult to reflect, such as the painted surface of a car body, or metal workpieces that are highly reflective. There is no need to adjust the measurement cycle for individual workpieces as in the past.

Wide range of angle characteristics and high setting flexibility

There is no need to set the sensor directly above. Even if it is required to be tilted, it can still measure up to about 85°*3, which greatly improves the flexibility of setting. Through a wider dynamic range and OMRON's original sensing algorithm, extremely wide angle characteristics are created.

The detection performance reaches the highest level*4, allowing customers to choose with peace of mind

Note. Representative examples of ZP-L series performance values

Regarding the characteristics of laser displacement sensors, when measuring a moving workpiece, the value is easily affected by the surface condition of the workpiece, and sometimes the error value is even higher than the resolution specification. Using the original ZP-L CMOS, the measurement error caused by the sensor movement can be reduced to about 50%*5, improving the stability of on-site detection. ZP-L adopts an original manufacturing method, which not only reduces the individual differences of each sensor unit, but also creates the expected performance at any time.

*1. The so-called dynamic range refers to the breadth of detectable workpiece types. That is, among all detectable workpieces, the reflectivity ratio of the one with the highest and lowest amount of reflected light.
＊2. Compared with the value obtained by ZX2 series. ＊3. Representative example where the workpiece material is metal surface. The appearance and material of the measurement object will affect the measurement results. Before actual use, it must be confirmed with an actual machine. *4. Compared with discriminative laser displacement sensors with a measurement size of 10 μm ~ 1 mm, this product has the highest performance. (Based on the company’s survey results as of November 2024) *5. Based on the conditions specified by the company, the results of comparing ZP-LS50L with similar products from other brands.

An interface that allows you to understand how to use it without a "manual"

Menu labels are more clear at a glance

Traditional laser displacement sensor components use segment displays. In addition to setting some items, you must also browse the user manual during operation. ZP-L uses an organic EL display with rich expressive capabilities. The menu screen is more clear at a glance, eliminating the need to manually search for the required page.

The screen can display error messages and response methods in multiple languages.

It can display in 4 languages, so field operators in foreign factories can also understand the setting contents. The display screen when an error occurs is also specially designed. The content of the error message and the response method can be displayed on the organic EL display in multiple languages. This will make the first response more smoothly on site and effectively shorten the time required for fault recovery.

Intuitive display design

The setting screen is specially processed so that users no longer get lost in numerous setting items. The screen is designed to be interconnected with key operations, making the operation more intuitive.

PC tools allow you to complete verification immediately "without recording programs"

[Operation and Maintenance] You can know the sensor status without pausing the device.

Simply install the PC utility software Wave Inspire ZP and connect via the network interface switching hub. Sensor conditions can be checked without affecting device control operations. No data logger is required, and no PLC needs to be programmed to perform operational checks. The supporting software Wave Inspire ZP can be downloaded for free. See the System Settings page in the data sheet for details.

The data obtained is of high quality

Verification data needs to achieve high real-time and high speed. ZP-L insists on perfection and focuses on details such as system design, so it can achieve 3μs sensing immediacy and capture data at 1ms high speed.
Even when multiple sensors are used, high quality can be achieved during data verification. The measurement time limit for all sensed data connected to the amplifier unit is to be completed simultaneously within 3μs. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the time gap in the data during verification.

It can verify the phenomenon of operation at high speed. The measured values are captured at 1ms intervals, and the actual actions of the device are graphed on the computer screen.
