The Difference Between A Linear Sensor And An Edge Sensor

Linear sensors and edge sensors are commonly used in the field of automation control, and they play an important role in practical applications, respectively suitable for different measurement and control scenarios.

A line sensoris a common sensor used to measure the linear displacement of an object. Linear sensors typically use contact or non-contact technology to measure physical quantities such as electrical signals, magnetic fields, or pressure. In the field of industrial automation control, line sensors are widely used in robot control, production line control, precision machining and other fields. Line sensors have the advantages of high measurement accuracy and fast response speed, so they are suitable for high-precision measurement and control.

An edge sensor is a sensor that detects the position or edge of an object. Edge sensors typically use technologies such as photoelectric, ultrasonic, or laser, like photoelectric guide sensor, ultrasonic guide sensor etc, to quickly and accurately detect the position of an object and to detect it over a long distance. In industrial production, edge sensors are often used in material handling, assembly line control, robot positioning and other fields. Edge sensors are an indispensable part of the field of automation control due to their high sensitivity, fast response and stable operation.
