MEASUREMENT & TEST METHOD IMPROVEMENTS

Using Non-contact Displacement Sensors to
Improve Measurement and Inspection Methods!

We are happy to introduce to you the know-how that KEYENCE has acquired over its history spanning more than 40 years as a direct-sales manufacturer of displacement sensors.

This document provides a varied range of actual applications for those individuals who are using non-contact displacement sensors for the first time and for those individuals who will use such sensors in the future.

We sincerely hope that the comments we have received from customers who have already installed these sensors and the suggestions we make (which are based on actual examples and which can only be made by KEYENCE) will be of use in the production lines of your company.
