The HL-G2 series can be used for the measurement of the dimensions of rubber parts. The improved optical design of the HL-G2 sensors ensures stabler measurement of low-reflection parts as compared to previous products.
Inspection of camera actuator operating amount
![Inspection of camera actuator operating amount Inspection of camera actuator operating amount](https://ac-blog.panasonic.com/hubfs/FA/Landing_Page/HL-G2/application_02.png)
The HL-G2 series can compare auto-focus actuator control current and value measured by the sensor for the confirmation of operation. The communication type models do not require an A/D conversion program so that numerical control is easier.
Inspection of flatness of metal frame

The HL-G2 series can be used for the inspection of flatness of products. All HL-G2 models feature a line spot specification, so they provide stable measurement performance even if the workpiece has hair lines or relatively rough surface.
Confirmation of remaining roll amount
![Confirmation of remaining roll amount Confirmation of remaining roll amount](https://ac-blog.panasonic.com/hubfs/FA/Landing_Page/HL-G2/application_04.png)
The HL-G2 series can be used to check the remaining amount of workpieces in a roll-like shape. With a built-in communication unit, the HL-G2 sensors can communicate via network for assuring traceability and collecting data at low cost.
Control of dispenser height
