When the job at hand is measuring something with micron-range precision, thoughts generally turn to a tool with a Mitutoyo or Starrett nameplate. But with a clever design and a little electronics know ...

Eddy current displacement sensors (ECDS) represent a mature, yet continuously evolving, non-contact measurement technology that utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction. When an ...

The brochure on capacitive nanometrology displacement sensors and electronics presents PI’s state-of-the-art systems and also features a tutorial on single plate and dual plate capacitive sensors and ...

Kaman Precision Products launched its Extreme Environment line of high-precision displacement sensors and systems for high-accuracy applications. They’re also suited for high-temperature applications ...

Food and beverage applications make use of a range of sensor technologies. Here’s a brief look at laser displacement sensors. The DS1100 laser-displacement sensor from Cognex, released in March 2013, ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...
