This video shows an animation of Direct Position Measurement from Physik Instrumente (PI), demonstrating how maximum accuracy can be achieved through direct metrology. When directly measuring ...

Every draft, NBA fans get bombarded with measurements from hand size to standing reach. Since most people don’t know wingspan as well as they do height, it can be tough to understand what it all means ...

But their limited range and linearity limit many of their applications to detecting odd or irregularly shaped targets rather than actual position. On the other hand, inductive linear-position sensors ...

As industrial processes become automated, wireless and cloud-connected, sensors serve as the backbone in providing the feedback on assets necessary for remote monitoring and control. The accuracy and ...

Many creatures in nature, including butterflies, newts and mole rats, use Earth's inherent magnetic field lines and field intensity variations to determine their geographical position. The spatial ...

This video shows the working mechanism of Physik Instrumente (PI)’s Hybrid Stage. PI offers a unique hybrid concept with parent position measurement and closed-loop control. Some of the key features ...

To perform position measurements more easily, LASER COMPONENTS is pleased to offer SiTek’s small and compact position sensitive detector (PSD) modules. Either one-dimensional PSDs from 2.5mm to 20mm ...

As the demand for greater control and functionality increases, position-sensor-instrumented hydraulic cylinders are becoming more important in the heavy industry, mobile equipment, and subsea worlds.
