Panasonic New Product Introduction New LS-500 Series Digital Laser Sensor RoHS COMPLIANT Laser Sensor with Compact Sensors Heads and an Available 4-20 mA Output! Panasonic, a worldwide leader in Factory Automation Products, is pleased to introduce the NEW LS-500 Series digital laser sensors. The LS-500 Series is a Class 1 laser sensor that saves production time and money with speed and ease-of-use. It has a threshold tracking feature that allows the sensor to adjust its threshold to compensate for tough environments such as those with dust and dirt. In addition to its effectiveness in dirty settings, the LS-500 Series boasts one of the industry’s fastest response times at 60 microseconds of detection time. This high precision laser sensor is engineered to be integrated with other Panasonic products such as the FX-500 Series fiber sensors, which minimizes wiring and diminishes cost. The LS-500 Series is in the top of its class among laser sensors in the high function, high application market. This small unit has dual outputs that can be independently configured for different threshold values. The device eliminates the need for a dedicated logic controller by performing AND, OR, and XOR logic operations. The LS-500 Series has a built-in memory that can store up to eight sets of amplifier settings. This memory function reduces downtime when changing the setup in a multi-model production environment. The LS-500 Series laser sensor improves operations and production time in any market.
