The compact size and accurate output of Macro Sensors’ CD 375 Series of miniature LVDTs make the linear position sensors suitable for providing displacement feedback in different robotic applications. Robots and robotic arms rely on sensors to determine range of motion or force applied to an object.
Attached to a robotic arm, the CD 375 Series detects position change when an actuator moves the robotic arm, providing an analog voltage signal, proportional to the amount of motion, to a controller that makes appropriate adjustments.
With the data provided by the sensor, the controller can determine when the robotic arm should stop or slow down. Macro Sensors miniature linear position sensors evaluate the robotic arm movement for optimum performance. In addition to industrial robots, the CD 375 LVDTs are suitable as an integral part of devices such as hydraulic actuators, servo valves, medical equipment and other small mechanisms.
