ZX-T Smart Sensor (High-Precision Contact Type)

The Industry's Top Class of Resolution

The long-stroke ZX-TDS04T_ (4-mm measurement range) achieves high-precision measurement with the industry's top class of resolution (0.1 µm) and linearity of 0.3% F.S. max.

ZX-TDS10T-[][] long-range type

Resolution: 0.4 mm, Linearity: ±0.5% FS

Ultra-low-load Type (0.065 N)

Since micro pressure contact is achieved using the Actuator's own weight, these Sensor Heads are ideal for taking measurements where non-contact Sensors cannot be used, such as on transparent and glossy products or products that are easily scratched or warped.

Automate Measurements with Vacuum-retracting Type (Air Lifter Type)

Switching from dial gauges to automatic inspection is a snap with the ZX-TDS10T-V. Meanwhile, the ZX-TDS10T-VL can control air push models in addition to air lift models so that contact force can now be controlled externally.

Pressing Force Alarm

Problems caused by excessive pressing force in inappropriate measurement situations can be detected in advance and a signal can be output to prevent malfunction. For example, preventive measures can be taken with a PLC, such as automatically stopping the measurement.

Warming-up Display

After the power is turned ON, this display indicates when the Sensor Head has warmed up to its optimum measurement condition.

Long Product Life (Mechanical Durability: 10,000,000 Operations Min.)

The ZX-TDS01T Sensor Head (1-mm measurement range) and the ZX-TDS04T Sensor Head (4-mm measurement range) have long service lives thanks to the unique linear ball-bearing structure shown below. Sliding parts move smoothly and the rubber sleeves keep dust out.

Auto Scale Function

The Amplifier automatically displays the measurement distance when it is connected to the Sensor Head. The cable can also be extended up to 10 meters by using the ZX-XC_A Extension Cable with no effect on characteristics.

No Need to Calculate or Reset the Origin

The ZX-T uses a differential transformer method, so there is no need to change the absolute origin position. As a result, master adjustment and origin calculation do not have to be performed each time operation is started. There is also no need for complex zero point return operations have been eliminated.

Measuring Parts Height during Clock Assembly

The Sensor Head can be placed in direct contact with the measurement object, so height differences can be confirmed even in extremely small parts.

Measuring Warp in HDD Chassis

Measurement time can be greatly reduced by using the multi-point measurement function.

Measuring Processing Dimensions in Engine Parts

Because the ZX-TDS01T and ZX-TDS04T conform to IP67, they can be reliably used in applications that are subject to water splashing.

Insulated Sensor Measurement

The relatively low measurement power allows multi-points to be simultaneously measured for small or thin parts.

Because of Sensor Heads are insulated, there is no risk of the measurement object being electrically damaged by leak current.

Glass Warping Measurement

Sensor Heads with a low measurement force ensure that high-precision measurements can be taken without damaging products.

Precise Product Measurement

Vacuum-retracting Sensor Heads enable post-processing measurements to be automated.

Small Parts Measurement

Multi-contact Sensor Heads can be used to precisely measure all the dimensions of small parts at the same time.

Electronic Component Measurement

Multiple thin, lightweight Sensor Heads can be arranged to measure the heights of several densely mounted components in different locations all at one time.
