A newly released document from KEYENCE: “Dynamic Non Contact Measuring Techniques” describes the technology of laser displacement sensors and their advantages. They make it possible to measure height, length, thickness and diameter on fast-moving, vibrating or rotating targets as well as on stationary objects.

Non-contact sensors eliminate damage to the target and enable fragile, soft and high-temperature targets to be measured. They can even measure accurately through glass. Different types of sensors are described. Selection criteria including: accuracy, range, response speed and environmental concerns are discussed.
