Distance Measuring

Distance Measuring is done in a number of different ways mostly through an analog signal based on a target's distance from the sensing device. It is done both mechanically with a transducer or encoder and electrically with Photoelectric, inductive, and ultrasonic sensors.

Balluff Micropulse Linear Position TransducersBalluff Micropulse Linear Position Transducers

Balluff Micropulse linear position transducers provide highly accurate and reliable position control signals. Balluff's non-contact magnetostrictive technology means performance does not degrade over time, as with linear potentiometers. Micropulse transducers are available with a variety of housing styles and electrical outputs to fit a wide range of applications and are very popular in the lumber industry, plastic injection and blow molding, tire and rubber manufacturing, stamping presses, die casting, and all types of automated machinery where a continuous, absolute position signal is required.

Baumer OHDK14 Background Suppression LasersBaumer OHDK14 Background Suppression Lasers

Diffuse sensors with background or foreground suppression which work with triangulation do not only sense the light reflected from the target, but also sense the distance of the object to the sensor. Within the fully adjustable distance, objects which are at least as big as the diameter of the light beam are recognized independently of color and surface properties.
