What is the difference between a laser displacement sensor and a laser distance sensor?
A:The main differences between laser displacement sensors and laser ranging sensors are measurement accuracy, measurement distance and application scenarios:1. Laser Displacement Sensor· Measurement object: small displacement changes at close range.· Precision: high, usually up to micrometer level (μm).· Measurement distance: short, generally between tens of millimeters and hundreds of millimeters.· Application scenarios: high-precision positioning, thickness detection, profile measurement, surface profile detection, etc. in industrial automation.2. Laser Distance Sensor· Measurement object: position or distance of distant targets.· Precision: low, generally millimeter to centimeter level.· Measurement distance: long, up to tens of meters or even hundreds of meters.· Application scenarios: warehousing logistics, robot navigation, vehicle positioning, surveying and mapping, and other occasions that require long-distance distance detection.Summary and comparison:ProjectLaser displacement sensorLaser distance sensorMeasuring distanceShort (mm to cm)Long (meter level)Measuring accuracyHigh (μm level)General (mm level)Application focusPrecision measurementDistance positioningCommon applicationsWorkpiece thickness, displacement detectionAutomatic navigation, object recognitionThe choice of sensor depends mainly on whether your application requires accuracy or range.
