Profile Measuring System
Z500
High-Precision Sensor that Measures and
Displays an Object's Profile.
Features
OMRON's original line beam method provides a
complete solution to profile measurement problems.
Conventional non-contact measurement of the profile of an object commonly
uses a displacement sensor to measure the height of the object, by moving the
object or the sensor.
However, this system has several disadvantages, such as lower measurement
accuracy resulting from object or sensor movement as well as high system con-
struction cost.
By utilizing a unique wide beam method and 2-dimensional CCD, OMRON's
Z500 eliminates these problems.
Through its capability of measuring a diversely-shaped objects in a stable man-
ner, the Z500 can meet a variety of application needs.
Application
Principle of line beam method
A wide beam is applied to the object to be measured. A 2-dimensional CCD receives
the reflected light to measure the 2-dimensional profile of the object.

Laser Safety
The Z500-SW2T Sensor Head is a Class 2 Laser Product ac-
cording to EN60825-1 (IEC60825-1) and Class II Laser Prod-
uct according to FDA (21 CFR1040.10) (see note). The
Z500-SW6 and Z500-SW17 Sensor Heads are Class 3B and
Class IIIB Laser Products, respectively. The Z500 Series is
meant to be built into final system equipment. Pay special at-
tention to the following precautions for the safe use of the
product:
Note: Europe: Class 2 and Class 3B of EN60825-1: 1994 = IEC60825-1: 1993
U.S.A.: Class II and Class IIIB of FDA (21 CFR1040.10)
(1)Use this product as specified in the operation manual. Oth-
erwise, you may be exposed to hazardous laser radiation.
(2)The Z500 series radiates laser beams in the visible light
range. Do not expose your eyes directly to the laser radi-
ation. Ensure that the laser beam path is terminated dur-
ing use. If a mirror or shiny surface is positioned in the
laser beam path, ensure that the reflected beam path is
also terminated. If the Unit must be used without terminat-
ing the laser beam path, position the laser beam path so
that it is not at eye level.
(3)To avoid exposure to hazardous laser radiation, do not dis-
place nor remove the protective housing during operation,
maintenance, and any other servicing.
(4)The user should return the product to OMRON for all repair
and servicing.
(5)As for countries other than those of Europe and the U.S.A.,
observe the regulations and standards specified by each
country.
