Magnetostriction - A Milestone in Measurement Technology
The heart of MTS sensors is the ferromagnetic measuring element, also known as the waveguide, and a movable position magnet that generates a
direct-axis magnetic field in the waveguide. When a current or interrogation pulse passes through the waveguide, a second magnetic field is created radially around the waveguide. The interaction between the magnetic field in the waveguide and the magnetic field produced by the position magnet generates a strain pulse which travels at a constant ultrasonic speed from its point of generation, the measurement point, to the end of the waveguide where it is transformed into an electric pulse in the sensor element. The resulting signal is processed by the specialized electronics of the Temposonics sensor. With our extensive know-how of ferromagnetic materials, magnetic effects and ultrasonic processes, MTS remains unrivalled in performance standards for non-contacting position measurement of the highest precision.

Cable displacement sensors are based on an extremely simple operating principle, transforming the linear displacement of the cable into a rotary displacement by means of a drum connected to a return spring.
The sensor outputs a signal proportional to the cable displacement through a hybrid potentiometer or an encoder fixed to the drum shaft.
The signal is then an analogue signal (voltage or current) or a pulse signal.

The confocal chromatic measurement system, optoNCDT 2401, consists of a controller and a sensor. A fiber optical cable, which can be of almost any length, connects the two components. This system has no moving components and is therefore wear free. It can also be used in ATEX / EX environments. The system consists of a LED based controller a fiber optical cable and one of the sensor heads of the series 2400/2401 or the world first miniature sensors series 2402. This unique measuring principle enables displacements and distances to be measured with high precision and extreme
spatial resolution. Both diffuse and specular surfaces can be measured. With
transparentmaterials a one-sided thickness measurement can be accomplished along with the distancemeasurement. Since the emitter and receiver are arranged in one axis, shadowing is avoided. In contrast to conventional triangulation sensors the optoNCDT 2401 system is able to measure in narrow apertures, small gaps and cavities. The series optoNCDT 2402 is also with radial beam deflection for bore hole inspection available.

Wilcoxon Research adds a displacement sensor to its popular PC420 Series of 4-20 mA vibration sensors. The PC420D is the first IEPE displacement transducer and 4-20 mA vibration transmitter packaged as a single sensor. The PC420D sensor outputs a 4-20 mA signal based on the displacement level of the machine vibration. The 4-20 mA output is determined by first measuring the peak to peak vibration, then converting that level to a 4-20 mA signal. Because balance components tend to dominate the vibration spectrum when viewed in displacement units, the PC420D sensor is able to track the balance component of machines, one of the most sought after parameters. Integrating this signal into an existing PLC, DCS or SCADA system simplifies real time health monitoring because vibration, formerly considered too complex, can now be trended in easily understood units of mils or millimeters of displacement. Measuring displacement can unmask hidden problems and provide data in easy to understand measurement units. Instead of converting to displacement after the measurement is taken, a common practice in diagnostic vibration monitoring systems which can introduce errors known as “ski slopes”, the PC420D sensor integrates at the measurement point for the cleanest vibration data. The PC420D is ideal for condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance of motors in the speed (frequency) range of 300 rpm to 60,000 rpm (5 Hz to 1,000 Hz). The PC420D can be widely used to monitor balance of plant instrumentation such as pump motors, blowers, fan motors, compressor motors, and a wide variety of machine tool drive motors to significantly reduce failure rates in the field.

ATLAS, POLARIS and ANTARIS laser displacement sensors work by the triangulation principle of measurement.
Single sensors measure displacement, depending on combination and placement you may measure thickness, width, height, length, straightness, flatness, profile or diameter.
Based on a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) the intelligent sensor controls the exposure of the CMOS and the output power of the laser source.
Due to this, LAP laser sensors measure extremely precise and fast, even if surface characteristics like color or reflectivity are changing.
Parameter like measurement speed or filters are handled directly in the sensor's DSP.
Digital workflow from CMOS to evaluation software eliminates the error sources of analog measurement. Still, ATLAS, POLARIS and ANTARIS sensors offer an analog output 4-20 mA.
ATLAS sensors can be connected by RS485, e.g. to further LAP sensors, to I/O modules, encoders ... .
Optional you may use interfaces to Ethernet UDP, Profibus DP or RS232.
