Basic specifications are the same as those for the sensor controllers.

The following points, however, are different.

(1) Sensor heads cannot be connected.

(2) A maximum 9 of controllers can be connected. Control link units are required to connect controllers.

(3) Processing functions between controllers: Math functions

Features

Distance measurement – Disc surface

On a highly reflective surface, the sensor is verifying the tumbling of a disk by measuring the precise distance.

Glass thickness – Windscreen

The ZS is able to measure the thickness of a transparent object using just one sensor head.

Height measurement – Glue bead

The sensor is precisely measuring the height of a semi-transparent glue bead.

Thickness measurement – Black rubber

Using two sensors and a calculation unit, the ZS measures the thickness of a matt black, rubber-like material.

Flatness inspection – Piston

Multiple sensors verify the flatness of a machined, reflective surface.
