Keyence LJ-X8000 Review: Features and Uses of the 3200-Point Laser Profiler
Updated: 7 days ago
The Keyence LJ-X8000 Series is a laser profiler for inline measurement of shape and height. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The LJ-X8000 is Keyence's high-definition laser line sensor. Each profile has 3200 points, well above the 1280 to 2000 of most profilers, so fine edges and small defects are resolved across a wide part. The widest head projects a line of more than 720 mm, and several heads can be paired for larger targets. Three high-accuracy models are named, the LJ-X8030, LJ-X8070 and LJ-X8100, and the heads work with four controller options. The overview used gives no scan rate or repeatability.
