complete solution to profile measurement problems.
Conventional non-contact measurement of the profile of an object commonly
uses a displacement sensor to measure the height of the object, by moving the
object or the sensor.
However, this system has several disadvantages, such as lower measurement
accuracy resulting from object or sensor movement as well as high system con-
struction cost.
By utilizing a unique wide beam method and 2-dimensional CCD, OMRON's
Z500 eliminates these problems.
Through its capability of measuring a diversely-shaped objects in a stable man-
ner, the Z500 can meet a variety of application needs.

Principle of line beam method
A wide beam is applied to the object to be measured. A 2-dimensional CCD receives
the reflected light to measure the 2-dimensional profile of the object.
Application
Measurement of connector pin Height measurement for cream- Rivet height measurement

Accurate and stable measurement.
OMRON's original 2-dimensional SW-CCD and multiple light
intensity control system enable stable measurement of ob-
jects with round shape and other surface conditions.
A variety of measurement items.
Various measurement items, such as level difference, width,
and edge position, can be selected depending on the specific
application.
Permitting simultaneous measurement of up to 8 items, the
Z500 is applicable to various measurement purposes.

Four types of monitor screens
Measurement data can be displayed on 4 types of monitor screens.
These screens enable analysis and evaluation of measurement data from various viewpoints.
Profile monitor
Time-series change of profile (data
on cross section height) can be
checked on a 3D gray scale image.
Image monitor
Both measurement data and
profile image can be checked
at the same time.
Digital monitor
Two or more measurement
data can be checked at the
same time.
Trend monitor
Time-series change of mea-
surement data can be
checked.
