An IR based contactless displacement sensor to ensure highly accurate distance measurements.
With PhysDisp, an IR-based contactless displacement sensor, one can consistently and accurately measure linear positions, lengths, and displacements. The patented time of flight (TOF) technique makes PhysDisp an exceedingly modern and sophisticated instrument to measure distances. The automatic switching of ranges and resolutions with changes in proximity from and area of the marker allow objects as close as 5 mm or as far as 1200 mm to be accurately measured. Connect it with the PhysLogger app to plot and record or use it as a handheld standalone device, reading values from the digital LED screen and taring with the hardware tare button.
