The new CPL350 is a small, precision capacitive displacement sensor from Lion Precision. The single-channel sensor brings top-shelf performance into tiny spaces at more affordable prices. Ideal for…
Sensors deliver better than 1 µm of accuracy for X-Ray telescope assembly
NASA’s newest orbital X-ray telescope technology uses capacitive displacement sensors during the assembly procedure. The sensors, capable of resolving position to less than 10 nanometers, are used during the mounting of over 10,000 thin glass mirrors into the telescope’s “lens.” Each mirror is about the size of a sheet of paper and only four times…
Sensor With Multiple Channels
The ECL150 Eddy-Current Displacement Sensor has up to eight channels of high-resolution, non-contact displacement sensing in a package measuring 4.2 in. x 0.6 in. x 2.3 in. The product produces resolutions as low as 2.6 nanometers at 15 kHz bandwidth and measurement ranges from 0.5 mm to 15 mm. Its analog output is +/- 5.0…
