Introduction to CYONICS 2114B-30SLT
Product Description
The CYONICS 2114B-30SLT is a high-precision industrial laser displacement sensor designed for non-contact distance and position measurement in manufacturing and automation applications. Developed by Cyonics, a specialist in optical sensing technologies, this sensor utilizes advanced laser triangulation to deliver accurate measurements of targets across diverse materials, including metals, plastics, glass, and textiles. It is widely deployed in industries such as automotive assembly, electronics manufacturing, robotics, and quality inspection systems.
Featuring a compact, rugged design and a 30mm measurement range, the 2114B-30SLT excels in scenarios requiring high repeatability and fast response times. Its laser diode (class 2, eye-safe) emits a visible red beam, enabling easy alignment with target surfaces. The sensor integrates a high-resolution CMOS detector and digital signal processing to compensate for surface reflectivity variations, ensuring stable performance even with glossy or dark materials. With flexible output options and industrial communication protocols, it seamlessly integrates into production lines for real-time process control and quality monitoring.

Usage Methods
- Installation:
-
- Mount the sensor using M3 threaded holes or optional mounting brackets, ensuring the laser beam is perpendicular to the target surface (tilt <5° for optimal accuracy).
-
- Position the sensor such that the target remains within the 20-40mm range during measurement; use the visible laser spot for initial alignment.
-
- Avoid direct exposure to ambient light sources (e.g., sunlight, high-intensity LEDs) or reflective surfaces adjacent to the target to prevent signal interference.
- Wiring and Connection:
-
- Connect the 12-24V DC power supply to the dedicated terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
-
- Wire the analog output (0-10V) to a PLC, data logger, or HMI for continuous distance monitoring.
-
- For digital communication, connect the RS485 terminals (A/B/GND) to the control network using twisted-pair shielded cable, with the shield grounded at the controller end.
-
- Configure discrete outputs via software to trigger alarms (e.g., out-of-tolerance conditions) or synchronize with external equipment.
- Configuration and Calibration:
-
- Use Cyonics’ proprietary software (LaserSoft) to set measurement parameters, including sampling rate, output scaling, and filter settings (to reduce noise).
-
- Perform a two-point calibration using reference targets at known distances (e.g., 20mm and 40mm) to optimize linearity for specific applications.
-
- Adjust the laser gain via software to compensate for target surface properties (e.g., increase gain for dark, low-reflectivity materials).
- Operation and Maintenance:
-
- Monitor the sensor status via the front-panel LED (green = normal operation; red = error/overrange).
-
- Clean the laser window monthly with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to remove dust or debris, avoiding scratches.
-
- Verify calibration quarterly using a precision gauge block or reference standard, especially in high-vibration environments.
-
- Protect the sensor from mechanical shock (≤100g peak) and avoid exposure to condensation, which may damage internal optics.
System Introduction
The CYONICS 2114B-30SLT functions as a critical sensing node in industrial measurement systems, integrating with three key layers:
- Optical Sensing Layer: The laser diode emits a beam that reflects off the target surface; the reflected light is captured by a CMOS detector, with the position of the 光斑 (light spot) indicating the target distance.
- Signal Processing Layer: Digital electronics convert the detector signal into a distance value, applying algorithms to filter noise and compensate for surface variations.
- Integration Layer: The sensor outputs measurement data via analog or digital channels, enabling real-time monitoring by PLCs or quality control systems, which adjust processes (e.g., robotic positioning, material feed rates) based on deviations from setpoints.
In an automotive body assembly line, the 2114B-30SLT measures the gap between door panels and the chassis with ±0.3μm repeatability. The 0-10V output signals are sent to a PLC, which adjusts robotic welders to ensure consistent joint quality. If gaps exceed tolerance, the discrete output triggers an alarm, stopping the line for manual inspection.
