hi all,
I needed a non-contact sensor or any other mean which could tell the distance in at least 50microns accuracy. The measuring distance is around 200-300mm with the measuring range of +/-30% full scale. And the sensing point should have minimal say less than 2mm diameter. The output can be either digital or analog. I tried with fiberoptic and laser sensors.
The fiberoptic and photoelectric sensors are giving the varying output for different colors. The laser sensor with triangularization works good. But the problem is it's expensive.
