Autonics Displacement Sensors BD Series

The displacement sensors for Industrial automation.

The BD series laser displacement sensors can measure thickness, width, level difference, disparity, curve, evenness of target objects by detecting the amount of displacement. The sensors offer accurate and stable measurement with minimal influence from target color or material. The sensor head and amplifier unit are detachable for easier maintenance and up to 8 sensor amplifier units can be interconnected with mutual interference prevention function.

Main Features

• Easy maintenance with detachable sensor head/amplifier unit
• Maximum resolution: 1? (vary by model)
• Accurate measurement with minimal influence from target color or material
• Interconnection of up to 8 sensor amplifier units:

Mutual interference prevention function and auto channel sorting
• Various calculation functions supported (addition, subtraction, average)
• Various filter functions for stable measurement (movement average, differential, median)
• Auto sensitivity adjustment (1-point, 2-point teaching)
• DIN rail and wall mount support (bracket accessory required for wall mount)
• Sensor head: IP67 protection structure
• Extension cables available for various moving applications (sold separately)

Accurate Displacement Measurement on Various Materials

The BD series which is a displacement sensors series from Autonics company, can accurately detect various target material or color including black/white paper, stainless steel, rubber, PCB, etc.

Easy Configuration with Movement Average, Differential, and Median Filters

Movement average, differential, and median filters allow for accurate and stable correction in measurement values in the event of sudden changes from mechanical noise or other variables.

Various Calculation Functions

Supports various calculation functions (OFF, ADD-AB, SUB-AB, AVG)

• OFF: independent measurement (calculation function not used)
• ADD-AB: Adds the measured values from sensor heads A/B (used to measure thickness)
• SUB-AB: Subtracts the measured values from sensor heads A/B (used to measure level difference/ disparity)
• AVG: averages the measured values from all connected sensor heads (used to measure evenness)
• Cannot use more than 2 calculation functions with interconnected sensor amplifier units

Interconnection of Sensor Amplifier Units and Mutual Interference Prevention

Up to 8 sensor amplifier units can be interconnected. The channels for the amplifier units are automatically sorted when connected together. (Each sensor amplifier unit requires independent power supply)

Robot Type Extension Cables for Moving Applications (Sold Separately)

1 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m cables are available for application in diverse environments without breaking.
