WHAT IS A MEASUREMENT SENSOR?

A displacement sensor (displacement gauge) is primarily used to measure the range of where an object has to travel and in relation to a reference position.

Displacement sensors have multiple uses. Its primary use is for dimension measurement to figure out an object’s width, height, and thickness. Accuracy, application and usage environment is required when selecting the best equipment.

A measurement sensor is a device that is used to measure an object to ascertain its dimensions such as by converting changes of light into electrical signals when the object intersects a laser beam.

New dimensional measurement technology has provided many benefits to the industry, such as enabling new manufacturing processes, increasing measurement throughput, and providing detailed information for process improvement during the manufacturing process. It’s vital that before you purchase and use new measurement technology, that you understand the full capabilities of the instrument in question. Understanding new measurement systems is much tougher then it appears. It’s so tough in fact that, at least in the U.S. industry, understanding the technology has proven to be a substantial barrier to the adoption of advanced measurement systems.

CMOS (CCD) Method A sensor that uses a CMOS (CCD) as the element receiving light can provide a much more accurate displacement measurement without being changed by the color of an object as well as the texture of the object.

Furthermore, the sensor can detect the amount of light on individual pixels in the CMOS (CCD) and can convert them from a distance.

2D/3D Line Laser Displacement Sensors: These sensors consist of a line laser emitter and a CMOS camera assembly. The sensor detects the whole profile of the target (linear displacement of the laser stripe) under the sensor at up to a 6 kHz rate, essentially using the same laser triangulation principle of the 1D laser sensors. If the sensor moves across a target surface, and tracks that motion with an encoder connected to the 2D sensor, it then becomes a 3D measuring system that can map the surface profile of the target (3D linear displacement).
