Multi-Purpose Digital Laser Sensor

LV-NH42 Long Distance, Wide-area Detection Laser Sensor

With this powerful, long distance, wide-area detection sensor, once difficult and expensive problems can now be solved easily and at lower cost. Even with a varying target shape the LV-NH42 enables stable detection in most applications.

The Ultra-compact Sensor Head can be Mounted Almost Anywhere

The size of the LV Series sensor head is half the size of our conventional sensor heads even though it is a reflective type that uses a semiconductor laser.

The Sensor Head is Equipped with a "Level Indicator" that Indicates the Detection Stability

A "level indicator" is a standard feature on all KEYENCE laser sensors and indicates the detection stability. The operation status and detection stability can be easily checked without viewing the indicator on the amplifier.

Confirmation of the Presence of a Suspension System

Using a wide beam spot ensures stable and reliable detection even when the target path slightly deviates.

Detecting the Presence of a Steel Rod

Conventional sensors could not detect a target if its surface is covered with oil. The area sensor ensures stable detection.

Detection of Filaments

A filament is detected through a glass window. Although a thrubeam type sensor can be used, the setting is difficult. The bright beam spot of the reflective type laser sensor allows for easy set up.

Detecting Baskets

The area detection ensures a sufficient amount of reflection even when the target has many gaps.

Detecting Glass Substrates

The reflective type sensor ensures stable detection with its high-power laser beam. The detection of a large substrate is available.

Differentiation between the upper and lower sides of a tube

Conventional spot-detection type sensors cannot stably detect the target due to the print on the surface. The LV-NH42's area detection is not affected by the print.

Detecting the Seam in a Rubber Tube

The area detection is stable even when the target vibrates slightly.

Detecting the Presence of Dough

Using a wide beam ensures a stable amount of received light quantity even when the shape of the target varies.

Detecting the Presence of Targets in a Paper Tube

With its wide beam spot, the LV-NH42 allows for stable detection even when the shape of the package varies.

Differentiation of the Orientation of an Envelope

Since the LV-NH42 uses a wide beam, detection is stable even when the position of character print varies.

Detecting the Remaining Amount of a Rolled Product

The long detecting distance allows the sensor to be mounted at various distances away from the target. The bright beam spot is easily recognized, ensuring easy adjustment.
