Zero defective rates on CNC precise machining.
5μm Gap Detection / Air Gap Sensor

5μm Gap Detection / Air Gap Sensor
Hi, I'm Ayaka Saito who works in Marketing department at Metrol.
I would like to introduce " Air Gap Sensor" which can detect the gap of less than 5μm of jig and workpiece.

Metrol's Air Gap Sensor is used on the manufacturing line for ABS actuator in DENSO corporation.

Let's check the application and specification !
Reasons to choose Metrol's Air Gap Sensors
Comparison with conventional products

*±0.5μm repeatability
Detect cutting chips in between Jig and the workpiece.
Prevent occurance of defective products in manufacturing process.

*IP67 protective structure
Sensors can be installed inside machines.
Productivity improves by reducing reaction time by shorting the length of air pipe.
