Positioning

For Individuals Looking for Positioning Measurement Systems

When looking for the best way to measure positioning, there are a number of important factors to consider, including the type of measurement system and the installation environment. Selecting equipment that doesn't adequately meet your needs can lead to insufficient precision and increased man-hours during production, so make sure you choose the right equipment. This site is designed to help those looking for a positioning measurement system discover the best way to perform measurement with confidence.

How to Measure Positioning

Find the best measurement method and the right equipment to measure "Positioning".

Position and placement measurement with a thrubeam-type sensor

Example Application: Positioning of liquid crystal PC boards

Optimal measurement system

Optimal measurement systemThrubeam Optical Micrometer

The edge positions of a moving target passing between the sensors are measured.

KEY POINTS

Even transparent targets can be measured stably by changing the detection threshold values of the target.

  • 1D Telecentric Optical Method.
    Long service life design that is free of moving parts.
    Fastest sampling rate in its class at 16 kHz.

Position and placement measurement with a reflectance-type sensor (1D displacement sensor)

Example Application: Positioning of high-precision stages

Optimal measurement system

Optimal measurement systemReflective Displacement Sensor

The sensor reflects light off of the edge of the target to measure the distance from it to the target.

KEY POINTS
  • Long measurement range and standoff is available with select heads.
  • Sensor heads with a small form factor can be used in areas with little available space.
  • Multi-color confocal method
    Linearrity:From ±0.2μm
    Confocal Displacement sensor

Position and placement measurement with a reflectance-type sensor (2D laser displacement sensor)

Example Application: Positioning of boards

Optimal measurement system

Optimal measurement systemReflective 2D Laser Displacement Sensor

The laser line profiles the target and measures the target's position based on its shape.

KEY POINTS

Position measurement can be performed with the sensor head installed perpendicular to the target's direction of movement.

  • 2D Triangulation Method.
    In-line Multi-point measurement.
    World's Fastest sampling rate at 64,000 images/sec.
