Laser Displacement Sensor Market Is Growing with Increasing Demand for Automation in Various End-Use Industries
A laser displacement sensor (non-contact type sensor) is
primarily used to measure the range where an object is to travel and with
respect to the reference position. They are widely used to measure the
deflection, flatness, vibration, diameter, thickness, height, width, etc. of an
object. In laser displacement sensor, a lens focuses the beam on the target
that reflects the beam back through a lens where it is focused on the
position-sensitive detector (PSD). Therefore, with the increasing demand for
automation in various end-use industries, such as logistics, packaging,
manufacturing, and automotive, the demand for laser displacement sensor is also
increasing with a rapid pace, propelling the growth of the laser displacement
sensor market.
In automation, sensors play a vital role, thereby increasing
the laser displacement sensor market in the near future. Laser displacement
sensors are more accurate and offer a wider range of applications compared to
conventional contact-type sensors. For instance, Baumer launched its
performance OM70 laser point and laser line distance sensors offering
high-precision measurement technology for use by the automation industry. Due
to repeatable sub-micrometer and minimal linearity deviations, the sensors
enable reliable measurement of components as well as high-precision positioning
of objects or grippers. It is perfect for those projects where precise
measurements and repeatability are important.
A wide variety of laser displacement sensors are available
in the market. There is an automatic control unit that helps monitor the
measuring operation, making the readings more reliable. Some devices may have a
power-driven servo motor for triggering the measurement. The automatic control
method is preferred because of its ease and accuracy. This in turn is also
expected to augment the growth of the laser displacement sensor market. Moreover,
there is an increasing demand for laser displacement sensor due to their cost-efficiency
and wide range of applications. The operational efficiency of these sensors is
not hampered by external factors, such as magnetic field interface and
unfavorable temperature.
As a result, laser displacement sensors efficiently operate
in varied environmental conditions. Thus, these sensors are widely used in the
quality control department, as they help save added expenditure and avoid
wastage of time and raw materials. These are the factors responsible for the
increasing demand for laser displacement sensors, which in turn augment the
growth of the laser displacement sensor market. However, the major factor restraining
the laser displacement sensor market growth is the complexities involved in the
use of these sensors.
The laser displacement sensor market focuses on six regions,
such as North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East,
and Africa.
