Optical triangulation sensors use reflected waves, whose source may be a LED, infrared, or laser source to pinpoint position and displacement. A sensor, usually integrally housed with the emitter, detects the beam reflected off the surface or object and provides an output that varies with the distance. Typically, optical triangulation sensors have a reference distance or standoff. This is the measurement distance; the working range provides measurement for distances either more or less the reference distance. Products & Services
Linear position sensors, all types, is a general search form for all linear position / displacement detection product areas.
Position probes measure the position of a target surface, usually with a high degree of accuracy. This search form covers many different linear position products.
Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves to pinpoint position and displacement.
Photoelectric sensors use emitters and receivers to detect the presence, absence, or distance of target objects.
Ultrasonic proximity sensors use reflected or transmitted ultrasonic waves to detect the presence or absence of a target component.
