Selecting a Displacement Sensor / Measuring System
Capacitive displacement sensors Capacitive displacement sensors are non-contact devices that are used for measurements at a high-resolution. It can also be used to check the position of any conductive object as well as measure the width or density of non-conductive materials. Capacitive displacement sensors have a large variety of uses including precision thickness measurements, assembly line testing, assembly metrology, and semiconductor processing. Capacitive displacement sensors can be found in manufacturing facilities all around the globe. There’s more to selecting the proper type of displacement sensor and measurement system than meets the eye. To select the appropriate type of device [...]
Target Material and Characteristics
Target Material and Characteristics Transparent/Opaque Targets There are a number of measurement systems that are capable of measuring a target that is opaque. When it comes to transparent targets, the measurement system being used must match the material of the target being measured. For example, if you’re attempting to measure plastic you should use a contact-type measurement system such as a micrometer. When performing a soft target measurement, such as film, a non-contact measurement system (such as a laser displacement sensor) should be utilized. Hard/Soft Targets Objects made out of hard material (such as a block of wood), would [...]
What is Measurement?
Measurement is about determining the quantifiable attributes of a target object. Examples of these attributes include: length weight distance thickness position capacity size The following sections explain more about what measurement is – and isn’t. Why is measurement misunderstood? Sometimes, people use the term “measure” instead of “calculate” or “quantify”. All these terms are related, but they’re not the same. For clarity’s sake, think of measurement as a single action that you perform with instrumentation. Collectively, “instrumentation” describes devices (i.e., instruments) that measure, indicate, and sometimes record values. Today, there are many different types of specialized measuring instruments.

Charge Amplifiers
Charge Amplifiers CA1800: Rack-mount Multiple Channel Charge Amplifier View Product 41CA: Dual Channel Rugged Charge Amplifier View Product 55CA: Single Channel Rugged Charge Amplifier View Product View Technology Principles Charge amplifiers have become an indispensable tool in diverse industries looking to emphasize precision accuracy in their performance. These electronic current integrators produce a voltage output proportional to the integrated value of the input current, making them ideal for amplifying signals from piezoelectric sensors. At MTI Instruments, we have harnessed and refined this power, creating a [...]
