The Keyence LR-XH100 is a separate amplifier-type sensor head designed for high-precision distance detection in industrial applications. With a 2-meter cable length and robust construction, it provides reliable measurement performance while ensuring flexibility for installation in complex equipment layouts.

The LR-XH100 offers a detection range of 25 to 100 mm, making it well-suited for medium-range applications where both accuracy and stability are essential. With a standard detectable deviation of only 1.0 mm, it maintains consistency across varying target conditions. The sensor delivers a display resolution of 0.1 mm, providing detailed measurement feedback for tasks such as part positioning, quality inspection, and object detection.

A defining feature of this model is its use of a green laser light source (505 nm, Class 1). Compared to conventional red lasers, green lasers are more visible to the human eye and provide enhanced detection accuracy, particularly on challenging surfaces or materials. The spot size of approximately 0.3 √ó 2 mm at 100 mm ensures precise detection of small or narrow targets, minimizing measurement errors in demanding environments.

The LR-XH100 is built for rugged and hygienic environments, making it suitable for industries such as food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals in addition to general manufacturing. Its SUS316L stainless steel housing offers exceptional corrosion resistance, while the PSU lens cover and FKM/EVM gaskets ensure long-term durability. The sensor carries IP65 and IP67 protection ratings, safeguarding it against dust, water, and washdown conditions.

Reliability is reinforced by the sensor’s robust resistance to shock and vibration. It can withstand shocks of up to 1000 m/s² (100G) and vibrations across a frequency range of 10 to 500 Hz, ensuring stable performance even in high-motion environments or on heavy machinery. Additionally, it maintains operation under intense lighting conditions, tolerating up to 16,000 lux from both sunlight and incandescent sources, which prevents false detections in brightly lit production areas.

Weighing approximately 75 grams, the LR-XH100 is lightweight and easy to handle, while its compact form supports seamless integration into existing setups. Supplied with a laser safety warning label, it meets international safety standards while ensuring operator awareness during installation and use.

In summary, the Keyence LR-XH100 Sensor Head is a durable, high-precision, and versatile distance detection solution. Combining the accuracy of a green laser, a wide detection range, rugged construction, and resistance to harsh environmental factors, it is ideally suited for advanced automation systems where reliability and precision are critical.
