Capacitance Displacement and Gap Measurement Probes
High resolution, low cost sensors to measure gap and displacement in industries such as semiconductor, electronics, R&D applications and many more. REQUEST A QUOTE For grounded targets MTI offers standard capacitance probes. For ungrounded or poorly grounded targets MTI offers push/pull dual sensor probes. Both types of probes are available in stainless steel construction or flat and flexible polyimide construction. Polyimide flat probes are perfect for gap applications or confined spaces. Learn more about our capacitance probes in these brochures: ACCUMEASURE Capacitance Probes for ACCUMEASURE D-series Standard Capacitance Probes Push-Pull Probes Brochure MTI Instruments Flat Capacitance [...]
15 Measurement Activities for Students
Image Source: Pixabay 15 Measurement Activities for Students Written by: Tiffany Chambers Did you know we measure things every day without realizing we do so?Whether we’re measuring how much sugar to add to a cake or figuring out how many more miles we can drive before our car needs an oil change, we’re constantly measuring things. Allowing your children and students to measure alongside you will prepare them for the real world. We assembled a list of fun measurement activities for your kids right at home and in the classroom. These activities require little in terms of [...]
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 [...]
