Basic Information
The No.1* class in application compatibility with 34 different sensor head variations
* As of September 2023, in-company survey
FDA : Some models only
Features
Combining our accumulated and the latest technologies to accomplished functionality
Our proprietary measurement CMOS, the “HDLC-CMOS Sensor”
The HDLC-CMOS sensors have been developed specially for the HL-C2 series. High density light-receiving cells and a processing speed close to the maximum limit result in high resolutions and high speeds which exceed all expectations for laser displacement sensors.
HDLC: High Density Linear Cell
“MSGB” laser with sharp and fine projection
We have created the ideal laser using our proprietary optical technologies and aperture construction. Furthermore, emission adjustment algorithms have been redesigned to maintain ideal emission conditions.

HL-C235CE-W
ø400 μm ø15.748 mil approx.
Ultra high-speed calculation processor
Using our specialized proprietary IC and custom algorithms for high-speed processing, information is digitally transmitted between the sensor head and controller. Both high-speed transmission and stability are realized for measurement values.
“High-resolution lens” for realizing stable optical path lengths
We designed a new high-resolution lens to reduce lens aberration as much as possible. Light entering from any angle can be gathered at a minimum point to realize even higher precision.
For automobile and vehicle parts measurement [ Automobile and vehicle parts production facilities ]
The measurement mode setting is compatible with a variety of workpieces
Select the optimal digital processing for the object to be measured.
Long-range sensor heads
Our lineup includes long-range sensor heads with measurement center distances of 110 mm 4.331 in and 350 mm 13.780 in. By keeping distance from the workpiece, the risk of sensor damage from contact with the workpiece can be reduced.
• Measurement center distance: 110 ±15 mm 4.331 ±0.591 in
HL-C211B(-MK)
HL-C211C(-MK)
• Measurement center distance: 350 ±50 mm 13.780 ±1.969 in
HL-C235BE(-MK)
HL-C235CE(-MK)
• Measurement center distance: 350 ±200 mm 13.780 ±7.874 in
HL-C235CE-W(MK)
Linear beam spot type sensor heads
We offer linear beam spot type sensor heads with various measurement center distances that are not easily distorted by roughly-finished metal surfaces.
Even surfaces that appear to be flat have minor surface variations when viewed under magnification. These variations can cause errors in measurement. Linear beam spot type sensors average out the influence of these variations, allowing for stable measurement of roughly-finished workpieces.
For measurement of glass height and thickness [ FPD and solar panel production facilities ]
The measurement mode setting is compatible with a variety of workpieces
A specular reflection installation is required for measurement of transparent and mirrored-surface objects. Select the digital processing for the measurement application.
Emission adjustment area specification allows for measurement of glass surfaces
Glass surfaces can be accurately measured by combining the “Emission Adjustment” that determines the optimal emission amounts with the “Emission Adjustment Area Specification” that identifies the specific area to measure the emission.
On-board processing for calculations of 2 sensor heads
The controller is equipped to perform basic calculations and output results for applications such as thickness measurement for sandwiched layers and 2-point gap measurement. This can reduce computational burdens for host controllers (such as PLCs).
Connectivity to host controllers
Our controller lineup offers Ethernet, USB, and RS-232C connections. The controllers can connect to devices such as PCs and PLCs.
* An API (Application Programming Interface)and sample programs can be downloaded for free from our web site for operating the controller using a PC connected by USB.
A full range of output ports allows output in line with your needs
Both Output (1) and Output (2) mounted on the controller provide independent analog outputs, various output signals (judgment, alarm, etc.), and various input signals (laser emission stop, zero set, etc.).
• Outputs, including calculation results, are assignable.
• Output (2) is also independent, and the same settings are possible.
| ○: Available | Output (1) | Output (2) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output circuit | Analog voltage | ○ | ○ |
| Analog current | ○ | ○ | |
| Hi / Go / Low judgment | ○ | ○ | |
| Alarm | ○ | ○ | |
| Strobe | ○ | ○ | |
| Input circuit | Zero set | ○ | ○ |
| Timing | ○ | ○ | |
| Reset | ○ | ○ | |
* Other functions such as laser control (emission stop) input and memory change are also on-board.
Buffering function allows for temporary accumulation of measured values
The buffering function allows measurement values acquired from high-speed sampling (10μs) to temporarily accumulate in the controller, which are then transmitted to the host.
A maximum of 65,000 values can be accumulated.
The accumulation of shape data can contribute to traceability and other activities.
Furthermore, in trigger mode, by sending a trigger input when there is an error, measured values before and after the error can be acquired to help determine the cause of the error.
Measurement status can be acquired with a programmable controller easily and without any need for programming
The HL-C21C(-P) supports the MEWTOCOL protocol (used by our programmable controllers), the MC protocol (used by Mitsubishi Electric’s MELSEC-Q and MELSEC-L series) as well as the iQSS dedicated protocol (used by Mitsubishi Electric’s MELSEC-L series), allowing measured values and other information to be written automatically to the data registers of programmable controllers without any need for programming.

Beam size
(Unit: mm in)
Mutual interference
(Unit: mm in)
- When installing two or more sensor heads side by side, mutual interference will not occur if the laser spots from other sensor heads do not fall within the shaded areas in the figure below. When connecting two sensor heads to one controller, the mutual interference prevention function can be used. Therefore the measures shown below are not necessary in that case.
Sensor head mounting direction
- To obtain the greatest precision, the sensor head should be oriented facing the direction of movement of the object’s surface, as shown in the figure below.
Object with variations in material or color
Rotating object
Object that has large differences in gaps, grooves and colors
Others
- Do not use this product during the transient state when the power supply is turned ON.
