LASER DISPLACEMENT SENSOR LJ-V Series

High-speed 2D/3D Laser Scanner

Ultra-high-speed/Ultra stability

What is a laser measuring device that is truly useful inline? "Improved quality”, “defect outflow prevention”, “increased yield" Calls and complaints from customers regarding manufacturing issues continue to increase on a daily basis, causing the level of demand for these items to increase. KEYENCE's new proposal is the LJ-V7000 Series, an ultra-high-speed inline profile measuring device that implements ultimate quality control to “measure any product of any shape 'with extreme detail'.

World's fastest 240 times greater than conventional devices: 64,000 profiles/sec. sampling 12,800,000 points/sec. The LJ-V7000 Series has achieved the world's fastest sampling speed. It can measure the shapes of products running on a line or through equipment at ultra high speeds, with high-resolution and without missing an item. As an example, it can measure targets moving at 6.4 m/s with a pitch of 0.1 mm. The LJ-V7000 Series does not allow the passing of abnormal or defective areas.

Industry's greatest 64 times the dynamic range of conventional devices: Overwhelming workpiece response capabilities and detection stability. Normally, detection stability is inversely proportional to speed. However, the LJ-V7000 Series has achieved the improvements in both speed and detection stability. Shapes are accurately measured even in cases where black surfaces or inclines with low reflectivity and metallic surfaces with high reflectivity are mixed together under the same optical axis.

CE.

APPLICATIONS

Measuring loose bearing seals: Bearings are rotated to detect loose seals and perform a variety of measurements. High-speed measurement is possible, and in addition to bearings, the completion time to inspect shapes for rotating objects is also greatly improved.

Measuring welding grooves and bead shapes: Welding grooves and bead shapes are measured. Can be used on site without worry due to its strong IP67 structure, shock resistance, and high-flex cable.

Measuring the swelling of steel sheets: The shapes of continuous swelling on steel sheets that are flowing at high-speeds are measured. Because it is possible to measure at speeds of up to 64 kHz, you can perform high-definition measurement at fine pitches.

Measuring the shapes of projections and depressions on extrusion moulded products: Measurement is performed to determine if the shapes of moulded parts that are extruded at high speeds are correct or not. Various targets can be supported, including rubber, metal, ceramics, concrete, and food products.
