The L-Gage LG5 and LG10 Series represent advanced non-contact laser measurement technology designed for industrial professionals who demand uncompromising accuracy and reliability. These compact, one-piece sensors conserve valuable space on production equipment while delivering exceptional performance. They operate without touching the target, making them perfect for measuring moving processes, hot parts, or sticky materials that would damage or foul contact sensors. With a supply voltage of 12 to 30V DC, they offer flexible integration through either an NPN or PNP discrete output, complemented by a choice of a 4-20 mA or 0-10V DC analog output for precise data transmission. The analog output is automatically scaled over the programmed sensing window, simplifying setup and ensuring accurate readings. Featuring an ultra-narrow laser beam, these sensors achieve an outstanding maximum resolution of 3 µm for flat white targets, providing the fine detail necessary for critical quality control applications.
These sensors are vital assets across numerous industries where precision measurement is non-negotiable. In automotive manufacturing, they are used for gap and flush measurement between body panels. The electronics industry relies on them for verifying component height and placement on PCBs. In packaging, they ensure correct fill levels and container integrity. Metal processing plants utilize them to monitor the thickness of sheets and coatings on hot materials, while the plastics industry uses them for extrusion monitoring and control. Their rugged design and immunity to challenging environmental factors make them the go-to solution for enhancing automation and ensuring product consistency on factory floors worldwide.
The business value of integrating the LG5 and LG10 series lies in their unparalleled reliability and the direct positive impact on your bottom line. By preventing product defects and minimizing waste through precise, real-time measurement, these sensors significantly improve overall equipment effectiveness and reduce costly rework. Their push-button TEACH-mode programming and remote configuration capabilities drastically cut down on setup and changeover time, increasing production flexibility. The availability in two ranges—45-60 mm (LG5) and 75-125 mm (LG10)—allows you to select the perfect model for your specific application, ensuring optimal performance and return on investment. Built to last in harsh conditions, they offer long-term durability that minimizes downtime and maintenance costs, providing a dependable solution you can trust for years to come.
