Distance and Displacement Sensors: Laser displacement sensors (e.g., optoNCDT 5500, optoNCDT 1220, optoNCDT 1320) providing sub-micrometer precision and high-speed measurement. Confocal displacement sensors (e.g., confocalDT IFD2410/2415, confocalDT IFC2411/IFC2412) for high-precision measurement of transparent and diffuse reflective surfaces. Eddy current displacement sensors (e.g., eddyNCDT 3060/3070, eddyNCDT 3001) offering precise non-contact displacement measurement in extreme environments like high heat, high pressure, contamination, vacuum, and vibration. Capacitive displacement sensors (e.g., capaNCDT 6200, capaNCDT 6110) specialized multi-channel systems for precise measurement of highly conductive targets such as semiconductors. White light interferometers (IMS5200-TH) capable of measuring thin, transparent layers down to 1µm with nanometer precision. LVDT contact displacement sensors and magnetic displacement sensors (mainSENSOR MDS series) also utilized in various automation and quality assurance applications.DistanceandDisplacementSensors:Laserdisplacementsensors(e.g.,optoNCDT5500,optoNCDT1220,optoNCDT1320)providingsub-micrometerprecisionandhigh-speedmeasurement.Confocaldisplacementsensors(e.g.,confocalDTIFD2410/2415,confocalDTIFC2411/IFC2412)forhigh-precisionmeasurementoftransparentanddiffusereflectivesurfaces.Eddycurrentdisplacementsensors(e.g.,eddyNCDT3060/3070,eddyNCDT3001)offeringprecisenon-contactdisplacementmeasurementinextremeenvironmentslikehighheat,highpressure,contamination,vacuum,andvibration.Capacitivedisplacementsensors(e.g.,capaNCDT6200,capaNCDT6110)specializedmulti-channelsystemsforprecisemeasurementofhighlyconductivetargetssuchassemiconductors.Whitelightinterferometers(IMS5200-TH)capableofmeasuringthin,transparentlayersdownto1µmwithnanometerprecision.LVDTcontactdisplacementsensorsandmagneticdisplacementsensors(mainSENSORMDSseries)alsoutilizedinvariousautomationandqualityassuranceapplications.
