Introducing a more versatile Laser Sensor
Detection is often difficult with reflective sensors for a variety of
reasons, including target color, material, surface finish, and
environment. In order to solve these issues, the stability of a
CMOS laser has been combined with the versatility of a
self-contained sensor in a heavy duty metal body to create a more
stable and user friendly general purpose sensor.

Best detection ability by a self-contained sensor in its class
The LR-Z Series provides uncompromised detection ability while maintaining
the easy operation of a self-contained design. This sensor monitors and
automatically adjusts its sensitivity using a light power control function made
possible by combining the benefits of a CMOS receiving element with a laser light
source. This allows for stable detection to be achieved, regardless of color or
angle. The built-in background and foreground suppression functions allow the
LR-Z to achieve the best detection ability of any self-contained sensor in its class.

OPERATION
One-touch setup and Digital display

The LR-Z is designed to provide reliable, yet simple operation for any user.
Its large indicator ensures outstanding visibility, even from long distance.
Operation is simplified through the addition of a digital 7-segment display and
one-touch teaching method. Sensitivity settings are easily performed while
monitoring the digital display for proper operation. The LR-Z is also equipped
with a key lock function to prevent unexpected or accidental changes.
