What is a Contact displacement sensor?

A contact displacement sensor measures the position or displacement of an object through direct contact. The sensor's probe or tip touches the object to detect displacement, allowing for precise measurement of movements, deformation, or changes in position. This type of sensor is widely used in industries such as manufacturing and quality control due to its ability to provide highly accurate measurements. Unlike non-contact sensors that use laser or optical technologies, contact displacement sensors excel in detecting fine movements or changes, even on rough surfaces or transparent materials. As a result, they are ideal for applications in industrial equipment maintenance, product inspection, and precision machining.

Application of Contact displacement sensor

✅ Precision Component Manufacturing
Monitors machining accuracy in real-time to maintain high-precision product dimensions.
✅ Quality Control
Inspects changes in the shape or dimensions of products on production lines, eliminating defective items.
✅ Material Testing
Measures deformation in metals and plastics to assess material properties.
✅ Industrial Robot Calibration
Measures the positional accuracy of robotic arms to improve operational precision.
