Using inductive (eddy current) technology, Kaman’s SMT-9700 system can provide extremely high-resolution, non-contact, position/displacement feedback of electrically conductive targets.
The 13 sensors for the system range in size from 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) to 15.0 mm (0.6 inch) and can detect non-ferrous and ferrous materials.
For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Kaman can customize both the electronics packaging and sensor design. For example, it can vary the frequency response, linearity, or a combination of the two to achieve desired system performance. In addition, if thermal stability is critical, the company can tradeoff linearity and tune the system for thermal stability.
