Simple setup for novel displacement sensor

Keyence has released a novel inductive digital displacement sensor, EX-V Series.

Keyence has released a novel inductive digital displacement sensor, EX-V Series.

The sensor offering accuracy down to 0.4 microns combined with high-speed measurement of 40,000 samples per second uses a number of measurement modes designed for specific applications.

Now measurements such as stroke end/bottom-dead-centre, vibration, eccentricity, thickness and gap can be automatically setup within a few seconds with the extra help of the amplifier's two-colour digital display.

Analogue output is provided giving a proportional signal to the measured displacement between the sensor head and the target.

In addition, two digital outputs can be used to provide hi, go or low measurement status to a PLC or other devices if required.

The range of compact and low profile inductive sensor heads (down to 4.8mm thickness) with high IP67 resistance mean that an optimal sensor head can be selected according to the application and available mounting space.

This combined with its inductive principle of operation means that traditional problems of dirt, grease, dust or oil associated with optical sensors, can be ignored.

And with the amplifier's inbuilt automatic trigger, timing, digital display and control functions, the need for external devices such as PLC's and trigger sensors are eliminated, therefore reducing unnecessary costs and setup time.
