Selecting a Measurement Sensor

Height / Step Height

Height and height difference measurements can be performed with 1D, 2D, or 3D sensors. The best choice for an application will depend on the target material, how consistently it's positioned, and the surrounding environment. Check out some options for height measurement below, or request a free consultation with a local measurement expert.

                    How to Measure UNDERSTANDING DISPLACEMENT SENSORS/MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS

High-speed laser displacement sensors can check for valve float without touching the valve head.

Ultra High-Speed/High-Accuracy Laser Displacement Sensor

LK-G5000 series

Small diameter heads allow for precise positioning of parts in tight areas.

Confocal Displacement Sensor

CL-3000 series

2D laser displacement sensors can measure both width and height, allowing for panel gaps to be accurately measured, regardless of the surface finish or color.

2D/3D Laser Profiler

LJ-X8000 series

Stator terminal height and position inspections are performed at the same time. The sensor head’s built-in scanning mechanism eliminates the need for peripheral components such as a stage or encoder, consequently saving the time and effort that would have been spent on developing the controls for these components. Inspection is possible as soon as this product is mounted to the corresponding equipment.

3D Laser Snapshot Sensor

LJ-S8000 series

Check step heights on machined parts without influence from oil or other surface contamination.

High-Accuracy Digital Contact Sensor

GT2 series

This inspection checks for variations in terminal height and pitch. The first of its type in the world, this product’s sensor head has a built-in scan mechanism, enabling inspection even in the short time that the target is stopped during the transportation process performed with an index table. Installation is simple, just attach the product to existing equipment.

3D Laser Snapshot Sensor

LJ-S8000 series

This inspection uses the surface height distribution of PCB-mounted components. The first of its kind in the world, this product’s sensor head has a built-in scanning mechanism, enabling inspection even in the short stoppages during intermittent transportation. Installation is simple, just mount the product to existing equipment.

3D Laser Snapshot Sensor

LJ-S8000 series

Check the tilt of the elements after bonding. The CL-3000 Series uses the multi-color confocal method that enables coaxial measurement. No matter whether the target surfaces are specular or rough, they can be measured in the same setting, which achieves easy and highly accurate inspection.

Confocal Displacement Sensor

CL-3000 series

The height information obtained from scanning the surface profile of the target is used to inspect for incorrect screw height. The first of its kind in the world, this product’s sensor head has a built-in scan mechanism, enabling inspection immediately after installation with no need for devices such as a stage or encoder.
