Using the Accumeasure 9000 Capacitance Transducer Amplifier to Measure Position and Vibration Displacement of Very Small Targets
capacitance sensors, while still maintaining acceptable levels of standoff distance and sensing range. This permitted MTI Instruments engineers to design a capacitance sensor with a sensing electrode only .005" wide x .050" long, which when operated with the Accumeasure 9000 amplifier at full sensitivity...
Capacitance Sensor System: How a Small Electric Field Can Save You Big Money
ranges of 1mm or even 2mm. For an assembly operation with limited space, or a target surface with odd angles, this pushing grants the manufacturer the flexibility to use a small probe and still have a sizable measurement range and standoff distance. Small size can be important. Capacitance sensors...
Brake Rotor Testing Using Capacitance Sensors
to monitor the distance between the probe and the rotor while spinning. Unfortunately, rotating targets frequently have an intermittent, uncertain or nonexistent ground path which causes inaccuracies in typical capacitance sensors. The Solution: MTII offers a unique “Push/Pull” Capacitance sensor (see...
Capacitance System Monitors Windshield Glass Thickness
) measurement range. Although the gap only fluctuated by +/-0.005” (125 µm) the large measurement range allowed for an increased probe operating distance and reduced the probability of probe damage. At 500 Hz frequency response the Accumeasure 1500 resolved measurements to less than 50 µin (1.25 µm...
