Air gap sensor for machine tools
The SDP air gap sensor detects the distance between the surface and object with consistent accuracy and outputs it as an absolute value. Even the smallest deviations of the actual position from the target position are reliably detected. This permanently ensures the quality of your product.
Since the gap is calculated on the basis of pressure and flow, the measurement remains accurate at all times, regardless of pressure fluctuations, number and diameter of the nozzles.In addition, the robust measuring pipe can also withstand the purge pressure, eliminating the need to switch between purging and measuring.
