About the LK-086
LK-086 is a standard sensor head that is part of the LK Series manufactured by Keyence. The reference distance is 80 mm, and the measuring range is ± 15. The light source is a visible red semiconductor laser with an output of 0.95 mW and a wavelength of 670 nm. The FDA marks this unit a Class II laser product, and the IEC 60825-1 marks this unit a Class 2 laser product. The linearity is 3 μm. The sampling cycle is 1024 μs. The analog output has a voltage output of ± 5 V (3 μm/mV), a current output of 4 to 20 mA, and an impedance of 100 Ω. The power supply is 24 VDC (± 10%) and has a ripple of 10% or less.
The monitor for this unit is a touch panel that is mounted on a specialised monitor stand. The cables for this unit include the head connection cable, the head connection extension cable, the touch panel monitor extension cable, the display monitor connection cable, and the RS-232C cable. The connector for these cables is a D-sub 9 pin connector. When measuring near a wall, mount the sensor head parallel to the wall. When measuring with a height difference, mount the sensor head parallel to the change in height. When measuring a moving object, mount the sensor head perpendicular to and above the moving object. When measuring an object with different colors, mount the sensor head parallel to the border of the different color.
