Core Performance Parameters

Key Product Advantages

1. High stability in harsh environments

The GT2-500 sensor head adopts a fully sealed structure with IP67 protection, which can effectively resist the intrusion of cutting fluid, oil and dust, and avoid measurement errors caused by environmental pollution.

The built-in temperature compensation algorithm can automatically correct the measurement deviation caused by temperature change within the range of 0-50°C, ensuring that the measurement accuracy.

2. Flexible installation and adaptation

The GT2-500 sensor head has a compact size of only 20×80 mm, which can be installed in a narrow space on the production line, and supports installation methods such as vertical installation and side installation.

The probe is made of wear-resistant cemented carbide material, which has a service life of more than 10 million reciprocating measurements, reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance costs.

3. Convenient system integration

The GT2-500 supports multiple output methods, which can directly connect to PLC, industrial computer and other control systems, and supports Keyence's original GT series communication protocol.

The equipped adjustment software supports real-time viewing of measurement data, curve recording and parameter adjustment, convenient for on-site debugging and later performance maintenance.

GT2 Series Model Comparison and Selection Guide

Keyence GT2 series has different models for different measurement range requirements.

The following is a comparison of the core parameters of the common models of the GT2 series to help you choose the right product:

Common Application Scenarios

1. Automotive stamping parts size detection

Keyence GT2-500 can detect the height and depth of the stamping forming position of auto body parts, judge whether there are forming defects such as insufficient stamping or overstamping, and ensure the consistency of parts size.

The 50 mm stroke can adapt to the size change of most stamping parts, and the anti-interference ability can adapt to the vibration environment of the stamping workshop.

2. Conveyor system position calibration

Install multiple GT2-500 sensors on the conveyor line to detect the horizontal position and vertical height of the conveyor belt, calibrate the offset of the conveyor belt in real time, avoid the deviation of the conveying position caused by long-term wear, and ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent processing link.

3. Precision mold opening and closing position detection

Detect the opening and closing distance of the injection mold and stamping mold, ensure that the mold is in place every time, avoid the defective products caused by the mold not being closed in place, and also monitor the wear of the mold in real time, reminding the maintenance personnel to repair and replace it in advance.

4. Packaging material thickness detection

Detect the thickness of paper, plastic film, composite packaging materials in the production process, feedback the thickness data to the production equipment in real time, adjust the processing parameters, ensure that the thickness of the packaging material meets the standard, and avoid the problem of too thin or too thick material.

Common Matching Recommendations

According to different application scenarios, we provide the following matching recommendations for GT2-500:

· Standalone detection solution

GT2-500 sensor head + GT2-75N amplifier.

This is the most common standard matching, suitable for most fixed-point measurement applications on automated production lines.

The amplifier provides two switch outputs and analog output, directly connecting to the PLC to achieve out-of-tolerance alarm and data collection with high cost performance.

· Multi-point synchronous detection solution

2-8 GT2-500 sensor heads + GT2-1000 multi-channel amplifier.

When it is necessary to detect multiple positions of the same workpiece at the same time, this matching can realize synchronous sampling of multiple channels, and the data is output uniformly through the bus, which reduces the wiring complexity of the control system and is suitable for on-line inspection of workpiece flatness and contour.

· Low measurement force demand solution

GT2-500 + spring probe accessory (Keyence OP-76874).

For soft workpieces such as rubber, foam and film that require low measurement force, this matching can reduce the measurement force to 0.15 N, avoiding measurement errors caused by workpiece deformation while maintaining the original 50 mm measurement stroke.

· Harsh environment application solution

GT2-500 + oil-resistant probe sheath (Keyence OP-76871).

For applications in cutting, forging and other workshops with a lot of oil fume and cutting fluid, the sheath can further enhance the protection ability of the probe, extend the service life of the sensor, and avoid the impact of oil adhesion on the measurement accuracy.

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum number of sensor heads that can be connected to the Keyence GT2-500?

A: The GT2-500 acts as the main unit; by connecting up to two GT2-550 expansion units, a total of up to 15 sensor heads can be connected.

Q: How is the GT2-500 powered?

A: The GT2-500 requires an external 20 to 30 VDC power supply. Power for the expansion units (GT2-550) is supplied by the GT2-500 main unit, so no separate power supply is needed for them.

Q: What should I do if the readings fluctuate or are unstable?

A: Possible causes and countermeasures:

1. Insufficient warm-up time after power-on: Wait approximately 5 minutes for the circuitry to stabilize.

2. Power supply noise interference: Check for noise on the power supply line and use a stable power source.

3. Loose connector: Check that the sensor head connector is securely tightened (0.4–0.5 N·m).

4. Environmental vibration: Check for compliance with vibration resistance specifications (10–55 Hz, 1.5 mm double amplitude).
