Laser distance sensor Panasonic HG-C1050-P, measurement range 50 mm, 24 V DC

Panasonic HG-C1050-P is a laser distance sensor engineered for precise short-range measurements. With a specified measurement range of 50 mm and operation from a 24 V DC supply, the sensor performs contactless distance detection using a laser emitter and receiver. It is intended for integration into automation, robotics, and manufacturing systems where accurate position control, presence detection, and quality inspection are required.

Advantages

The sensor delivers high-precision distance measurement over a short span, enabling consistent and repeatable readings in tight tolerances. Its contactless laser measurement avoids mechanical wear and minimizes influence on measured objects. Compact design facilitates mounting in constrained spaces and integration with conveyors, robotic end effectors, or inspection stations. The 24 V DC operation matches standard industrial control supplies for straightforward electrical integration.

Suitable for

• Position control of parts and fixtures in automated assembly
• Presence and gap detection on conveyor or transfer lines
• Quality inspection where small displacement or thickness changes must be measured
• Robotic end effector proximity sensing and alignment tasks

Key specifications

• Measurement principle: laser-based distance sensing
• Nominal measurement range: 50 mm
• Supply voltage: 24 V DC
• Contactless operation suitable for delicate or moving targets
• Compact form factor for installation in confined spaces

How to use

Mount the sensor so the laser emitter has an unobstructed line of sight to the target at the intended measurement point within the 50 mm range. Connect the sensor to a stable 24 V DC supply and route signal outputs to the control system or inspection logic. Allow the sensor to be aligned and focused according to the installation geometry; confirm measurement consistency by comparing readings on representative targets. Implement cabling and mounting brackets that reduce vibration and maintain a fixed distance and angle between sensor and target during operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the sensor in environments free of excessive dust, smoke, or reflective interference; if necessary, employ protective housings or air purging. Verify that the target surface provides suitable reflectivity for reliable laser return and calibrate the sensing position during initial setup. For repeatable results, avoid mounting on unstable structures and maintain recommended clearance from other optical sources.
