Laser sensor feature compact sensor heads and an available 4-20 ma output


The LS-500 series offers high-class laser sensors able to detect very small objects with a selectable processing speed of 60µs. Featuring ultra-compact sensing heads and a separate digital amplifier with digital and analog outputs.

Problem Solving Sensing Heads Feature Laser Accuracy

Ultra-compact thru-beam M6 cylindrical stainless steel sensor with sensing distances up to 1 meter and an operating indicator on the receiver..

Long range diffuse sensor features Coaxial beam provides stable sensing. Sensor body is only 8mm wide for easy mounting in confined spaces.

Retroreflective type with Coaxial beam provides a small  Ø 6mm beam at 1 meter distance. Operation indicator is visible from all directions..

Coaxial beam provides narrow beam, small spot size, and insensitivity to sensor rotation. This design works well for precise leading-edge detection and for identifying targets thru narrow gaps.


High Function Digital Amplifier

  • Dual 4-digit display for current & threshold values.
  • AND, OR, and XOR logic functionality.
  • Analog output, 4-20ma (LS-501-C2).
  • Response time max. 60µs.
  • Four output modes: normal, differential, hysteresis. window comparator mode.
  • Interference prevention function.
  • Laser emission halt via external input.
