Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves, whose source may be an LED, infrared, or laser source to pinpoint position and displacement. A sensor, usually integrally housed with the emitter, detects the beam reflected off the surface or object and provides an output that varies with the distance.

The specifications for optical triangulation position sensors can be confusing. They typically have a working range and a reference distance, also known as standoff distance. The standoff distance is the mid point in the working range. The working range provides measurement for distances either more or less the reference distance and is usually given as a +/- value. For example, a sensor with a reference of 9” and a working range of +/- 4” will have an effective total range of 8” over which it can measure, the midpoint of that range being 9” from the sensor. This means that the distance being measured must be between 5” and 13” from the sensor. Resolution is the smallest unit of distinction that the instrument can detect. Accuracy is described as a percentage of full scale.


Products & Services Related to Position Sensors, Optical Triangulation
Cable Extension Linear Position Sensors
Cable extension linear position sensors are used to measure the movement and displacement of objects. A cable or wire is attached to an object, and as the object moves, the transducer produces an electrical signal proportional to the wire's linear extension.
Linear Position Sensors and Switches, Ultrasonic
Linear position sensors and switches, ultrasonic, are used for position and displacement sensing, using ultrasonic technology.
Linear Position Sensors, Capacitive
Capacitive linear position sensors are devices that sense position / displacement using capacitance technology.
Linear Position Sensors, Eddy Current
Eddy current linear position sensors detect the distance from a target by using magnetic fields generated by a reference and sensing coils.
Linear Position Sensors, Fiber Optic
Fiber optic linear position sensors use fiber optic technology to sense position and displacement.
Linear Position Sensors, LVDT
Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) linear position sensors have a series of inductors in a hollow cylindrical shaft and a solid cylindrical core. These devices produce an electrical output proportional to the position of the core
Photoelectric Sensors
Photoelectric sensors use emitters and receivers to detect the presence, absence, or distance of target objects.
