*1 As of September 2023, in-company survey
*2 This is the P-P value of digital measurement value with half shading at the middle position of the installation distance.
Two types of sensor heads are available.
Two types of sensor heads, one with a standard type receiver and the other with a slim type receiver, are available.
Side view attachment is available (optional). [HG-T1010]
Side view attachment (optional) is available for the standard type sensor head HG-T1010. This attachment can bend the laser beam at a right angle to allow flexible installation of the sensor head.
*Two side view attachment units are required when using the attachment on both emitter and receiver.
*The slim type sensor head HG-T1110 cannot be mounted with the side view attachment.
*Be sure to confirm proper detection using actual equipment in advance when using the attachment.
Lithium-ion battery winding section
Use of the side view attachment enables the installation of the sensor head closer to the winding section than when a conventional sensor head is used, thus contributing to the improvement of winding accuracy.
Beam axis adjustment assist function
The standard type sensor head HG-T1010 indicates the direction of receiver displacement relative to the emitter on the controller's display screen and with the beam axis adjustment indicators on the receiver in an easy-to-understand fashion.
* The slim type sensor head HG-T1110 displays the displacement information only on the
controller's display section.
Automatic emitter / receiver cable recognition
The HG-T series automatically recognizes the positional relationship of the emitter and receiver connected to the sensor head connection cable at the time the controller is turned ON. This function eliminates the need for identifying the correct cables to connect to the emitter and receiver. Wiring can be completed by simply attaching the connectors to the emitter and receiver.
* The sensor head connection cable is branched into two cables on the sensor head connecting side, but the two cables can be connected interchangeably to the emitter and receiver.
Die-cast aluminum case
The sensor head case is made of light and strong die-cast aluminum. It minimizes measurement fluctuations due to temperature effects. The die-cast aluminum case does not easily become distorted in shape by tightening of mounting screws as compared to a resin case. It is highly resistant to deterioration due to ageing. This robust case helps prevent deviations of beam axis alignment.
IP67 protection
The HG-T series features a protection structure of IP67(IEC) so it can be used in a place where the product may be exposed to water or large amounts of dust.
*Note that if the beam emitting / receiving surfaces of the sensor head are adhered with water or dust, correct measurements become inaccurate.*The sensor head is watertight, but the connectors are not structurally resistant to dust, water or corrosion. Therefore, the HG-T series cannot be submerged in water or placed under falling water for measurement operation. Be sure to use the product in an appropriate environment.
Dual display for added indication flexibility (equipped with NAVI function)
The 2-line digital display simultaneously shows head measurement (measured value) and judgment value (calculated value).
All-direction LCD
The high-contrast LCD provides sharp and clear indications and wide viewing angle.
Equipped with intuitive circle meter
Values between allowable maximum and minimum values are indicated in green. Values outside of the allowable range are indicated in orange. This provides at-a-glance understanding of the margin to the tolerance limits.
Six types of detection modes

User-specified edge detection mode
Two points can be arbitrarily specified from multiple edges of the measurement object to be used for measurement, and the distance between the two points is measured.
* This change will be applied from production in November 2020.
Industry's First!*
Auto edge detection mode
Edge detection can be started from either the TOP or BOTTOM without registering the detection direction. This eliminates the need for checking the detection direction.
* As of January 2019, according to in-company survey
Edge detection mode
External form / width detection mode
Inside diameter / gap detection mode
Central position detection mode
Monitoring of effects caused by stains
Notifies when the detection performance decreases due to accumulated stains.
Checks the degree of contamination based on the amount of light of the reference waveform (considered as 100 %).
*The reference waveform can be confirmed by using a combination of the “HG-T Configuration Tool” USB-based PC setting software and USB communication unit SC-HG1-USB or RS-485 communication unit SC-HG1-485. For details, refer to "Software">>Go to "Software" page
Stable measurement of even transparent workpieces
The judgment level can be adjusted according to the degree of transparency.
Elimination of effects caused by fine foreign matters
The judgment filter value can be adjusted for the prevention of erroneous detections due to fine foreign matters.
The judgment filter value can be set to a desired value between 3 and 50.
Increasing the filter value ignores values resulting from foreign matters.

Invalidates sudden changes in measurements
If there is a sudden change in the edge position of the work piece, the change is invalidated and the judgement value is stabilized.
* This change will be applied from production in November 2020.
The USB communication unit provides convenient functions that facilitate the setting of the HG-T series while observing the waveform of received light by operating the dedicated USB-based PC setting software. The USB-based PC setting software can be downloaded free from our website.
*1 When connected to the communication unit for digital displacement sensor, up to 14 slave units can be connected per master unit.
*2 Dependent on PC environment.

>>With regards to the connected use of HG-S and HG-T
[Sensor head] Mounting
・The light emitting and receiving surfaces of the sensor head must be free of water, oil, fingerprints, and other substances that refract light as well as dust, grit, and other objects that intercept light.
・Do not allow ambient light such as sunlight to directly hit the light receiving section of the sensor head. In particular, if precision is required, use this product by mounting a douser (or similar material) on the sensor head.
・A serial number is marked on each opposite surface of the light emitting and receiving surfaces of the sensor head. Use a pair of emitter and receiver that have the same serial number.
- For the installation of sensor heads, use M3 screws and tighten to the torque of 0.5 N·m. M3 screws are not provided with the product.
[Controller] Mounting
Mounting
1. Insert the rear of the mounting part into the DIN rail.
2. While pressing down on the rear of the mounting part, insert the front of the mounting part into the DIN rail.
Removal method
1. Grasp the product and push forward.
2. Lift the front to remove.
Attaching the sensor head connection cable
Mounting
1. Insert the sensor head connection cable into the connector for the sensor head connection cable on the controller.
Removal method
1. Grasp the controller, and while pressing on the lock release lever on the connector of the sensor head connection cable, pull toward you to disconnect.
Note:
If you attempt to disconnect the cable by pulling it without pressing the lock release lever, cable wire breakage and connector damage may occur.
[Controller] Connection
・Always shut off the power before connecting a slave unit to or disconnecting a slave unit from the master unit. Risk of controller damage if you attempt connection with the power on.
・Insert the male connector firmly into the female connector. Risk of controller damage if not completely connected.
・When connecting slave units to a master unit, connect only NPN output types, or only PNP output types.
Dissimilar output types cannot be connected together.
・To connect units, the units must be mounted on a DIN rail. Attach end plates MS-DIN-E (optional) so as to enclose the connected units at the ends.
- If the HG‑TC□ controller is used together with the HG‑SC□ controller for contact-type digital displacement sensor HG-S series, make sure to use the HG-SC□ controller manufactured in or after February, 2019.
Furthermore, connect the slaves units of the same series to the side closer to the master unit and the slave units of the other series to the far side.
[Common] Wiring
・The product is designed to fulfill the specifications when combined with the HG-T□ sensor head and HG-TC□ controller. If the product is used in combination with other products, it not only fails to meet the specifications but also generates a malfunction in some cases.
・For the controller DC power supply, only use a power supply that is isolated by means of an isolation transformer or otherwise.
・Risk of short-circuiting and damage to the controller or power supply if a transformer such as an auto transformer is used. Risk of short-circuiting and damage to the controller or power supply if incorrectly mounted or connected.
- Make sure that the power supply is off while performing wiring or expansion work.
- After you have completed wiring work, check the wiring carefully before switching on the power.
- Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
- Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
- If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
- Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied directly to the sensor cable joint.
