Position Sensors / Detectors / Transducers

Displacement Sensors utilize blue laser technology.

When measuring on metals, particularly annealing metals and organic materials such as wood, skin, foodstuffs, and veneers, Triangulation Sensors with Blue Laser technology do not penetrate measuring object. Laser generates minimal laser point on surface and therefore offers stable, precise results on measuring objects that are normally considered critical. In addition, sensors are equipped with...

Multi-Turn Rotary Sensors use magneto-resistive technology.

RSM 2800 Series supplies absolute position values and rotational counts up to 16 turns without mechanical gearing, batteries, or optics. Non-contact sensors permanently store shaft rotation as well as position when power is lost. When power is restored, units automatically provide accurate position and count. Measuring 30 mm in dia with 6 mm dia shaft, sensors offer independent linearity up to...
