Triangulation means the measurement of distance by calculating the angle. In measurement technology a Sensor projects a laser spot onto the Measurement object. The reflected light falls incident onto a receiving element at a certain angle depending on the distance. The distance to the Measurement object or Target is calculated in the Sensor by the position of the light spot on the Receiver element and from the distance of the transmitter to the receiving element. https://www.micro-epsilon.com/video/laser-triangulation-principle-EN-1920.mp4

One of the greatest threats to the long life of a linear motion system usually occurs on its very first stroke. How do you know when a linear bearing has reached its end of travel? When the carriage hits the wall. At least, that is how the old engineering joke goes. But in reality, crashes are no laughing matter. Also known euphemistically as “hard stops,” crashes occur when an out-of-control pillow block slams into the bearing’s end stop or some other intermediate target. They most often occur when a linear axis is started up for the first time. Even a…
