Sensor de distância laser Panasonic HG-C1030 24 V DC, alcance máx. 30 mm

The Panasonic HG-C1030 is a compact laser distance sensor designed for short-range measurement and presence detection in industrial automation. Powered by 24 V DC, it provides non-contact distance readings with a maximum free-field range of 30 mm, making it suitable for tight-space applications such as part positioning, small-object inspection and automated assembly verification.

Advantages

The sensor delivers precise, repeatable distance data without physical contact, reducing wear and eliminating mechanical alignment. Its compact form factor and 24 V DC operation simplify integration into existing control systems. Fast response and stable output support automated position control and quality checks in high-throughput processes.

Suitable for

• Short-range position sensing and micro‑positioning tasks
• Presence detection of small parts on conveyors or fixtures
• Non-contact thickness or gap measurements within the 30 mm range
• Feedback for pick-and-place systems and assembly verification

When it may not be suitable

This sensor is intended for very short measurement distances (maximum 30 mm free-field). It is not appropriate for medium- or long-range distance measurement or for applications that require wide-area scanning. Surfaces with extreme reflectivity or very fine or transparent materials may require testing to confirm reliable detection.

Key specifications

• Measurement principle: laser distance sensing
• Supply voltage: 24 V DC
• Maximum free-field range: 30 mm
• Output type: precise non-contact distance output suitable for automation systems
• Typical applications: short-range positioning, presence detection, quality inspection

How to use

Install the HG-C1030 so its optical axis faces the target within the specified 30 mm range and secure it mechanically to prevent movement. Connect the 24 V DC supply and the sensor outputs to the control system following the wiring conventions of your automation platform. Use the sensor output to feed distance or presence information into PLC logic or motion controllers. Perform initial calibration and tuning on representative parts and adjust mounting distance to optimize signal stability and repeatability.

What to consider before purchase

• Required measurement range — ensure targets will be within 30 mm of the sensor face.
• Target surface characteristics — very shiny, highly absorbent or transparent materials may affect readings.
• Integration needs — confirm compatibility with your 24 V DC supply and control interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable results, mount the sensor on a stable bracket with controlled ambient lighting and test with actual production parts. Allow a small margin inside the 30 mm range for mounting tolerances and verify output behavior during startup and under expected process conditions.
