Products Laser switch sensor › TOF Laser ranging sensors DAI-JNS10 and DAI-G20

Compact TOF laser sensors for reliable distance / presence detection in complex scenes: DAI-JNS10 (0.05–5 m, ≤0.5 ms, Class 2) and DAI-G20 (0.05–10 m, ~1 ms, Class 1). Output options include dual-channel PNP/NPN, 4–20 mA analog, and RS-485 Modbus-RTU, with high ambient-light immunity and IP65 build.

Typical uses: conveyor part detection, level/loop control, roll-to-roll, robotic pick & place, packaging access monitoring.

Product Highlights

  • Fast response: JNS10 down to ≤0.5 ms; G20 ~1 ms typical (up to 2 kHz measure frequency).
  • Wide working range: JNS10 0.05–5 m; G20 0.05–10 m (10%–80% reflectivity, extended capability noted).
  • Accuracy: JNS10 absolute error ±10 mm, repeatability ±2 mm; G20 absolute accuracy ±100 mm, repeatability ±5 mm.
  • Outputs selectable by model: PNP/NPN, 4–20 mA, or RS-485 Modbus-RTU; load capacities as listed.
  • Optics & safety: JNS10 laser 650 nm Class 2, G20 905 nm Class 1; strong ambient-light immunity.
  • Rugged: IP65 enclosure; −20…+55/50 °C operating ranges; compact aluminum body.
  • Install anywhere: tolerant to vibration/EMI; supports far-from-line mounting to avoid collisions.

Operating Modes (JNS10)

Detection modes

  • Standard: single-point or two-point threshold.
  • Reference-plane: set current distance as zero; trigger on ±set value.
  • Window: NEAR/FAR window by one-point (±20 mm default) or two-point learn.

Hysteresis, delay (on/off/one-shot), NO/NC logic, and initialization (factory reset) are available via front keys.

Environmental notes

  • Power wiring separate from high-voltage lines; power-up inhibit ~1 s.
  • Protect the front lens; avoid direct sun/outdoor without shielding.
  • Keep within specified temperature/humidity; check for vibration/leakage.
