Introduction to the application of displacement sensors in various fields such as mechanical equipment industry

         There are many types of displacement sensors, and currently the best-selling products in the market (industrial grade) include: potentiometer principle linear displacement sensor, rope type displacement sensor, magnetostrictive displacement sensor, LVDT displacement sensor, eddy current displacement sensor, grating ruler and magnetic grating ruler displacement sensor, etc. Its application range is also very wide, mainly in the mechanical equipment industry and the automotive field. In addition, it also has good markets in the fields of construction, transportation, metallurgy, mining, environmental protection, medical care, chemical engineering, and scientific research experiments.

         The mechanical equipment manufacturing and processing industry is an important component of China's economy. With the development of society, traditional mechanical equipment manufacturing technology is gradually declining, and intelligent equipment manufacturing technology, as the main force, provides a continuous stream of new power for the healthy development of the economy. Displacement sensors are mainly used for displacement measurement and position positioning in intelligent mechanical equipment; It is also possible to monitor the degree of indication through online monitoring, such as LVDT displacement sensors and eddy current sensors for vibration, expansion or eccentricity performance monitoring in special mechanical equipment. When abnormal conditions occur in the equipment, early warning can be given and transmitted to the control system for corresponding related operations; It can also be used as a limit sensor, speed or acceleration measurement, counter, etc.

         Displacement sensors are an indispensable part of the control system of automated mechanical equipment, and the performance of sensors directly determines the effectiveness of equipment control. The most classic application is the use of displacement sensors in electro-hydraulic servo control systems. Through built-in or external displacement sensors, the piston position of hydraulic cylinders can be detected in real time, converted into proportional electrical signals and fed back to the control system. After system correction and calculation, the signals are transmitted to the device driver and actuator to complete closed-loop control operations.

        Application of displacement sensors in the automotive manufacturing industry

        The automotive industry is a special industry with a high degree of intelligence and integration. Sensor technology has been applied in this field for a long time and is constantly evolving. Various miniaturized, multifunctional, integrated, and intelligent sensors are essential components for automobiles or automotive processing equipment.

        The main application of displacement sensors in the automotive field is the size detection and position positioning of automotive components during assembly. In order to meet the high-precision detection requirements of the automotive industry, high-precision sensors such as LVDT displacement sensors have been widely used in various position detection in automotive parts processing, engine manufacturing, stamping, painting, welding, assembly and other automated production processes in vehicle factories.

        Application of displacement sensors in electronic manufacturing industry

        The popularization of consumer electronics products has led to rapid development of the electronic manufacturing industry. In electronic manufacturing production lines, whether it is automated production lines, industrial robots, or online and offline detection of electronic components, the participation of displacement sensors is often required. The advancement of sensor technology has directly promoted the continuous updating of mechanical equipment in the electronic manufacturing industry, and the application of more high-efficiency, high yield, and high safety intelligent devices in the electronics industry has comprehensively improved the overall production capacity and efficiency of the industry.

         Application of displacement sensors in industrial robots

         The improvement of industrial robot performance and the reduction of manufacturing costs have made the replacement of machines in modern enterprises a trend. Industrial robots often require the integration of a large number of displacement sensors, angle sensors, force sensors, proximity sensors, etc., to improve the environmental adaptability and operational accuracy of robots. In order to ensure the safety of workers, industrial robots also need to be equipped with safety sensors. When the robot senses abnormal conditions, it can trigger an emergency stop to ensure the personal safety of workers.
