GT2-H12KL Sensor Head | Keyence GT2 Series
The GT2-H12KL is a high-accuracy contact sensor head from the Keyence GT2 series. It features a 12 mm measuring range, 0.1 µm resolution, and a low-stress design for precise measurement.
Product Introduction
The Keyence GT2-H12KLF is a high-accuracy digital contact sensor head built for precise dimensional measurement in industrial automation. Belonging to the GT2 Series, this box-type model delivers low-stress, high-precision performance for micron-level applications. Specifically, it achieves a resolution of 0.1 µm with an indicated accuracy of 1 µm (p-p). The sensor head uses an absolute detection system that eliminates tracking errors. Therefore, users can rely on consistent and repeatable measurements even after power interruptions.
Technical Specifications
The GT2-H12KLF offers a measuring range of 12 mm, making it suitable for a variety of position verification tasks. Its detection system combines a Scale Shot System with absolute encoding. Moreover, the sampling cycle of 1 ms ensures rapid data acquisition for high-speed production lines. The mechanical response is rated at 4 Hz when the ambient temperature is 20°C. The sensor head features a 2-colour LED (red and green) for immediate operational status indication.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
This sensor head offers reliable environmental resistance for demanding factory floors. First, the operating temperature range spans from -10 to +55 °C without freezing. Next, the relative humidity tolerance is 35 to 85% RH without condensation. Additionally, the compact housing supports flexible mounting in tight spaces.
Installation and Compatibility
The GT2-H12KLF functions as a sensor head and requires connection to a compatible GT2 series amplifier unit for operation. Specifically, it connects via an M8 connector. The measuring force varies depending on the mounting orientation. For instance, downward mounting produces a force of 0.4 N, side mounting 0.3 N, and upward mounting 0.2 N. Finally, the sensor head weighs approximately 100 g without the cable.
