The Keyence GT2-H12KF High-Precision Sensor Head (Flange Model) is designed to deliver ultra-accurate measurement and long-term stability in precision inspection and automation applications. Using Keyence’s advanced Scale Shot System, this absolute-type sensor ensures consistent results without the tracking errors common in traditional measurement systems, making it ideal for industries requiring micron-level precision.

One of the standout qualities of the GT2-H12KF is its exceptionally fine resolution of 0.1 μm combined with indicated accuracy of 1 µm (p-p). This level of precision makes it suitable for critical measurement tasks, including dimensional inspection of precision components, high-accuracy machining verification, and quality assurance in industries such as electronics, automotive, and medical device manufacturing. The 12 mm measuring range provides flexibility for a wide variety of applications where accuracy across small displacements is essential.

The GT2-H12KF’s Scale Shot System (absolute type) further enhances reliability by eliminating tracking errors, ensuring that the sensor consistently reports accurate position data even during fast or repeated measurements. With a sampling cycle of 1 ms, it is well-suited for high-speed production lines where both precision and efficiency are vital. Its mechanical response of 10 Hz balances sensitivity with stability, ensuring dependable measurements in dynamic environments.

Built to withstand demanding factory conditions, the GT2-H12KF is IP67-rated, providing strong resistance against dust and water ingress. It operates reliably in ambient temperatures from -10 to +55 °C and humidity up to 85% RH (non-condensing). Its durability is reinforced by vibration resistance (10 to 55 Hz, double amplitude 1.5 mm) and shock resistance of 1,000 m/s², ensuring consistent performance in challenging conditions.

The sensor head is constructed with high-quality materials for long-lasting durability. The die-cast zinc housing provides rigidity, while the contact tip is made of SUS304 stainless steel and cemented tungsten carbide, ensuring wear resistance and longevity even during continuous use. The integrated NBR dust boot protects internal components from contamination, extending service life. Despite its robust construction, the sensor remains lightweight at approximately 100 g (excluding cable), making installation straightforward in space-constrained setups.

For ease of use, the GT2-H12KF features a two-color LED indicator (red/green) that provides clear status visibility during operation, simplifying setup and maintenance. It connects via an optional M8 connector sensor cable, giving users flexibility in system design and installation.

In summary, the Keyence GT2-H12KF High-Precision Flange Model Sensor Head combines ultra-fine resolution, error-free absolute measurement, rugged environmental resistance, and compact durability. It is an indispensable tool for manufacturers seeking to achieve consistent, micro-level accuracy while maintaining long-term reliability in harsh production environments.
