How to use laser displacement sensors

As measurement technology advances, laser displacement sensors have become widely used. They provide accurate, non‑contact measurement of position and displacement. Here is a practical guide:

1. Define measurement target: determine what to measure (position, displacement, deformation, vibration) and required parameters.

2. Prepare equipment: laser sensor, signal processor, and data acquisition device for measurement and recording.

3. Install the sensor: mount with a bracket or magnetic fixture and ensure the sensor‑to‑target distance meets specifications (typically millimeters to centimeters).

4. Calibrate: follow the manual and use a known calibration block or target to ensure accuracy and stability.

5. Measure: maintain a stable sensor‑to‑target distance and avoid collisions or interference.

6. Analyze and record data: process and store data with signal processors and a computer for further analysis.

In short, using a laser displacement sensor requires preparation, installation, calibration, measurement, and data processing to ensure accurate and stable results.
