The need for automation is greater today than ever before Linear Displacement Transducers (LDT) play an important role in factory automation. They provide accurate, reliable, absolute position feedback to help automate today’s sophisticated machinery. Sensors must deliver value, be easy to set up, and interface easily into the host controller. We know the manufacturing challenges of today are extreme, so we designed and built a sensor to meet and exceed these demands, regardless of the application or environment. Innovation, proprietary technology and decades of experience were the key to the...
