Panasonic HG-F1 Series Laser Distance Sensor
The Panasonic HG-F1 Series is a compact and long-range laser distance sensor designed for stable and precise distance measurement. Utilizing a Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor module, it accurately determines distance by measuring the time it takes for an emitted beam to reflect and return. This sensor is minimally affected by workpiece color or material variations, offering enhanced equipment design flexibility and reliable detection even outside robot arm operating ranges. Its robust aluminum diecast body and selectable spot modes contribute to its versatility and ease of use in various industrial applications.
