What's
Smart?
A host of remarkable functions inside a
compact body. OMRON combined these
with an Amplifier display and easy operation
to take Sensor detection to a whole new
level. OMRON's sensing platform meets a
wide range of diverse applications by
offering a broad selection of heads
employing different detection methods.

What's the Platform?
The
ZX-LD-N
integrates internal data for the entire ZX
Series. This was achieved through technological
advancements that vastly improve data communications
between Amplifiers and enable calculations between
different Sensor Heads.
Welcome to the ever-expanding Smart World of sensing.

Top Priority Placed on Easy Operation
Advanced functions and performance plus easy operation.
This is a major feature of the ZX Series.
Experience operation that doesn't get any easier.
Judgement output indicator
High/Pass/Low 3-color display
A Full Complement of Practical Functions
Operating Setting with No Need for
a Digital Panel Meter
Patent Pending
By simply fitting a Calculating Unit between two Amplifiers, the
processing results of two Sensors can be displayed on a single
Amplifier. Setting parameters need to be input only on one
Amplifier.
Arrow keys improve operating control

Calculating Unit
Digital dual display
Displays distance and threshold
values at power ON.
7-mm-high LED characters
Easy-to-see Resolution
Patent Pending
The resolution of the desired workpiece can also be easily
determined by detection. The resolution display clearly shows the
margin available for the threshold setting, to allow accurate
judgement of detectability.
Comprehensive Teaching Functions
Position/2-point/Automatic
Three teaching functions rival the performance of photoelectric
sensors.
Position teaching
For high-precision positioning applications
Reso-
lution
Deviation to be detected
2-point teaching
For detecting ultra-small level differences between two points
Automatic teaching
For teaching without stopping the workpiece
