For measurement of automobiles and automobile parts [Production equipment for automobiles and automobile parts]
Supports various workpieces with measurement mode settings
You can select the ideal digital processing according to the object to be measured.
A lineup of long-distance sensor heads with a measurement center distance of 110 mm and 350 mm.
By increasing the distance between workpieces, the risk of sensor damage due to workpiece contact can be reduced.
・ Measurement center distance 110 ±15 mm
HL-C211B (-MK), HL-C211C (-MK)
・ Measurement center distance 300 ±50 mm
HL-C235BE (-MK), HL-C235CE (-MK)
・ Measurement center distance 300 ±200 mm
HL-C235CE-W (MK)
Line Spot Types that are not easily affected by the metal surface are available at each measurement center distance.
Even if the surface looks flat, there are minute irregularities on the surface when magnified.
Measurement error occurs due to the influence of this unevenness.
The Line Spot Type can even out the effects of such unevenness and stably measure rough surface workpieces.
For measuring the height and thickness of glass [FPD and PV panel production equipment]
Supports various workpieces with measurement mode settings
When measuring a transparent body or a specular body, it is a regular reflection installation. You can select the digital processing according to the measurement application.
Glass surface can be measured by specifying the floodlight adjustment area
By combining "light projection adjustment" that adjusts the ideal amount of light projection and "light projection adjustment area designation" that allows you to specify the light projection adjustment area, you can measure the glass surface reliably.
Calculations of 2 sensor heads can be processed in the controller
It can be connected to each host controller
You can reduce the arithmetic processing on the host controller (PLC, etc.).
* The API (Application Programming Interface) and sample programs for controlling the controller from a USB-connected personal computer can be downloaded free of charge from the manufacturer's website.
Equipped with a wide variety of output ports, it is possible to output according to your request
Outputs (1) and outputs (2) are independently equipped with "analog outputs," "various outputs (judgment, alarm, etc.)," and "various inputs (light projection stop, zero set, etc.," respectively.
| Output (1) | Output (2) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Output Circuit | Analog voltage | ○ | ○ |
| Analog current | ○ | ○ | |
| Hi/Go/Low judgment | ○ | ○ | |
| Alarm | ○ | ○ | |
| Strobe | ○ | ○ | |
| In Circuit | Zero set | ○ | ○ |
| Timing | ○ | ○ | |
| Reset | ○ | ○ | |
- Allocation is possible including the calculation result.
- Output (2) is also independent and can be set in the same way.
The buffering function enables temporary storage of "measured values"
The buffering function is a function that temporarily stores the measured values acquired by high-speed sampling (10 μs) in the controller and then transfers them to the upper level.
You can accumulate up to 65,000 points. By accumulating shape data, it can contribute to traceability, etc.
Also, in the trigger mode, by using the trigger input at the time of abnormality, the measured values before and after the abnormality can be acquired, which is useful for investigating the cause.
Program-less and easy acquisition of controller status with various PLCs
HL-C21C(-P) supports MEWTOCOL (Panasonic's programmable controller), MC protocol (Mitsubishi Electric's MELSEC-Q, MELSEC-L series), and iQSS-compatible dedicated protocol (Mitsubishi Electric's MELSEC-L series). Therefore, data such as measured values is automatically written to the data register of the programmable controller without a program.
* iQSS is an iQ Sensor Solution manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
Easy setup
HL-C21C (-P) connection settings can be configured with "automatic detection of connected devices" and "drag and drop."
Development labor-hours can be reduced
* It is supported from Mitsubishi Electric sequencer engineering software GX Works2 (Ver.1.492N or later).
Easy to monitor the measurement status of HL-C21C (-P).
Easy reading and writing of HL-C21C (-P) sensor parameters.
* HL-C21C (-P) Ethernet communication settings are required with Configurator WD (the manufacturer's Ethernet communication setting tool Ver.1.62 or later).
* The MELSEC-Q series is supported by the MC protocol, and sensor monitoring is possible.
Operation items that pursue the convenience of initial settings and setting changes
By combining with the programmable display GT12 and the tool software (intelligent monitor HL-C2AiM, data collection tool HL-C2AiG) that can be set on a personal computer, it is possible to display not only the measured value but also the received light amount waveform, etc.
Programmable display GT12
Easy operation with touch panel, easy-to-understand display
By installing screen data (provided free of charge) on the programmable display GT12, you can use it as a dedicated console that can display waveforms and set conditions.
(a dedicated cable is required for connection. )
