Measurement Principle

1
This unit receives laser light from the transmitter. The receiver uses a CCD (Charge
Coupled Device) as the receiving detector. The CCD is a linear array of light receiving
elements. When a target is placed between the transmitter and receiver, a shadow is
caused on the receiver. By detecting the light to dark and dark to light transitions, the unit is
Before Use

able to measure those areas accurately.

For details, refer to "4-3 Setting the Measurement Sensitivity" (page 4-44).

"5-1 Specifications" (page 5-2)

When the mounting distance is long and the object is far from the receiver, the light
diffraction caused by the object increases. Because of this, the edge of CCD’s light- 2
receiving waveform generated by the object is skewed increasing measurement error.
To increase the measurement accuracy, make the mounting distance as short as possible

 3-6 Setting the Tolerance Setting Value

The tolerance setting value consists of the upper limit value (HIGH side setting value) and
the lower limit value (LOW side setting value). By setting these values, judgments are
made in three levels: when the judgment value (P.V.) goes beyond the upper limit (HIGH
judgment), when the judgment goes beyond the lower limit (LOW judgment) and when the
judgment is within the acceptable range (GO judgment). Then, the judgment indicator and
judgment output are turned ON/OFF.

setting Two-point tuning Detect the good target and defective target and set the tolerance.

Note When setting the tolerance setting value manually using the two-point
tuning, make sure to set "HIGH side setting value > LOW side setting value".

Reference When setting "HIGH side setting value > LOW side setting value", the judgment
output is as follows.
• GO judgment output is not output regardless of the judgment value (P.V.).
(When setting HIGH side setting value = LOW side setting value = judgment value
(P.V.) and setting the hysteresis to 0.000, GO judgment output is turned on.)
• When the judgment value (P.V.) goes beyond the HIGH side setting value
and falls below the LOW side setting value, the HIGH judgment output and
LOW judgment output are output at the same time.

 4-3 Setting the Measurement Sensitivity

The measurement sensitivity can be adjusted according to the amount of light received.
This can be used for various purposes by setting the binarization level and filter value. The
following two methods can be used to set the binarization level and the filter value.
(1) According to the purpose, select the "Sensitivity setting" with the binarization level and
filter value fixed.
(2) Set the binarization level and the filter value to the arbitrary values respectively (User).

Note If any of the sensitivity setting, binarization level or filter value is

changed, register the standard waveform.
"3-4 Registering the Standard Waveform (Gain adjustment)" (page 3-9)

4 Binarization Level
The setting value to judge either light-entering or light-blocking based on the amount of
light received by CCD is referred to as "Binarization level". When the light-receiving amount
Setting Various Functions

for the standard waveform registration (Gain adjustment) is considered as 100%, if it falls
below the binarization level, it is judged as blocked.
When the object is opaque such as metal, the recommended default value is 25% from the
optical characteristics standpoint.
When the object is transparent such as glass, the binarization level is required to be raised.
Therefore, the high sensitivity mode is recommended for the sensitivity setting.

 4-3 Setting the Measurement Sensitivity

Filter Value
When the filter value is increased, the measurement tends not to be influenced by dirt stuck
to the glass cover of the laser transmitter/receiver. When the filter value is decreased, small
objects are stably measured.
When the filter value in the "Standard mode" is 9, only if the light-blocking part of CCD
continues 9 pixels or more, it is judged as blocked. Also, only if the light-entering part of
CCD continues 9 pixels or more, it is judged not blocked.

Reference • If the filter value is increased by 1, the light-blocking part and light-entering
part of CCD ignored will be increased by 1 pixel (approx. 0.014 mm).

• Depending on the light diffraction caused due to the mounting distance or
measurement position, the size of the object actually ignored changes.

• When the calculation function is used, if the average number of times
of expansion unit 1 differs from the one of main unit, it is
automatically changed to the same setting as the setting for the main
unit.
• When the average number of times "hsp" is set, the update timing of
the internal data on the main unit and the expansion unit does not
match. Therefore, when a moving object is measured using the
calculation mode, the measurement value may greatly differ from the
actual value.
"3. Average number of times (Response time)" (page 4-17)

Calculation Value (CALC value)

The calculation result of the internal measurement value (R.V.) for the "main unit" and the
"expansion unit 1" is referred to as calculation value (CALC value).
The "main unit" operates with the calculation value (CALC value) considered as a judgment
value (P.V.).
The "expansion unit 1" operates with its internal measurement value (R.V.) considered as a
judgment value (P.V.).

Reference • The calculation value (CALC value) can be displayed on the sub display
(lower level) on the main unit.
"Sub Display (Lower Level)" (page 3-4)
• When the hold function is used, the calculation value (CALC value) is not
held.

Addition Mode
In the addition mode, the added value of the internal measurement value (R.V.) for the
"main unit (A)" and the "expansion unit 1 (B)" is considered as the calculation value (CALC
value).
Calculation value = (A’s R.V.) + (B’s R.V.)

The diameter or width of a large object that cannot be measured with the measurement

2 heads Mode
The calculation method for the 2 heads mode is the same as the one for the addition mode.
The difference (merit) from the addition mode is as follows.
• The display range of the main unit’s judgment value (P.V.) is changed to -999.99 to
999.99. This is convenient to display the actual diameter or width of a large object in
combination with the zero shift function.
"3-7 Zero Shift Function (Shifting the Internal Measurement Value (R.V.))" (page 3-16)
• Settings other than the standard waveform registration (Gain adjustment) or

When the monitor tab is selected, the measured status of the IG Series is displayed in real
time.

Note • Before selecting the monitor tab, check if the PC (IG Configurator)
and the IG Series main unit are properly connected.
• If the configuration data opened with the IG Configurator and the
configuration data stored on the IG Series differ, monitoring is not
possible. Read the configuration data from the IG Series or transfer
the IG Configurator’s configuration data.

Reference If the baud rate for communication setting is set to faster, the updating speed of
the measured state becomes faster and monitoring can be performed
smoothly.
