For position/displacement measurements that require very precise readings, Lion Precision’s CPL490 Capacitive Displacement Sensor could be the answer. The precision device measures position/displacement with 50 picometer precision or less. This means that the sensor can measure changes in an object’s position when it moves less than the diameter of one of the molecules without filtering […]

Extended Range for CompactRIO Eddy-Current Displacement Sensors
Rather than connect external displacement sensing systems to a data acquisition module to capture the sensor’s signal, users of National Instruments CompactRIO platform can now use a fully compliant module for measurement ranges up to 15 mm. Previously, the range for Lion Precision’s eddy-current displacement sensor was 3.5 mm. The ECD140 Eddy-Current Displacement Sensors extend […]
Sense Clear Labels in Tight Spaces
Capacitive technology solves the edge detection problem that clear label sensors present. Reducing the size of the sensor allows it to address more applications. That was the goal when Lion Precision developed the LRD3120 Clear Label Sensor. The sensor has a remote sensing head that is only 14 x 18 x 24 mm and connects […]
Simplifying the Setup for Industrial Sensing Applications
Think that there might be an easier way to teach sensors in industrial applications? You are not alone. Engineers at Lion Precision thought there could be a better way and developed the “Gap Quickset” feature for LRD8200 Ultrasonic Clear Label Sensor. Rather than requiring the operator to execute several key presses to align the sensor […]
Optical vs. Ultrasonic vs. Capacitive Sensors: The Winner is…
For clear label sensing, Lion Precision has designed and built a machine to compare optical sensors, ultrasonic sensors and two types of capacitive sensors. The company uses all of these technologies in products it offers. With this evaluation tool, sensors that employed each of the four technologies were tested and compared using web speeds of […]
