1.Measuring Range, Maximum measurement distance of the sensor probe.

2.Linearity, an industry-standard parameter, reflects the absolute accuracy of sensor measurements under factory calibration conditions.

3.Sensitivity, an industry-standard parameter, refers to the ratio of the sensor system’s output change to the input change – specifically, the magnitude of the output voltage corresponding to a unit displacement.

4.Resolution, an industry-standard parameter, refers to the minimum displacement increment measurable under a specific bandwidth, given as the RMS noise value.

5.Dynamic (resolution), refers to the resolution at a 10 kHz bandwidth.

6.Static (resolution), refers to the resolution at a 20 Hz bandwidth.

20 µs / point Real-time Communication For Ultra-precision Motion Closed-loop Control

In a motion system achieving speed up to 200 mm/s with nanometer-level precision, the C1-FLT sensor paired with the Faraday.03 monitor provides real-time position information for closed-loop control.

The Faraday.03 performs position updates every 20 ms, offering critical support for PID dynamic control.

The closed-loop system completes five motion phases – startup, acceleration, uniform motion, deceleration, and stop – in 5.3 ms, achieving a smooth 1-nm step without overshoot.
