Optex FA’s Displacement Sensors play a crucial role in industrial automation by accurately measuring distances in micrometers. These sensors utilize laser technology: a laser beam is emitted toward the target object, and the reflected light is received by an image sensor. As the distance to the object changes, the position of the landed image on the sensor shifts, creating an internal current within the displacement sensor. Unlike photoelectric sensors that detect object presence, displacement sensors provide precise distance measurements, making them essential for quality control, positioning, and thickness measurement in manufacturing processes.
