Industrial Sensors and Precision Measurement Devices
Choose Sensors by What You Need to Know
Start by distinguishing presence detection from dimensional measurement to narrow down suitable candidates.
01
Is an object present or passing?
Check box arrival or part passage
Photoelectric or fiber-optic sensors
Example result: present / absent
Through-beam sensing uses interruption of light; reflective sensing uses changes in returned light. Transparent targets and surface conditions require suitable sensing methods.
02
Has a metal part approached?
Check metal-part arrival or machine-part position
An inductive proximity sensor example
Example result: in range / out of range
Detects metal through changes in the electromagnetic field near its sensing face, without using light. Material and mounting affect sensing distance. Other proximity sensing methods also exist.
03
How much has distance or height changed?
Measure step height, surface position or dimensional change
Displacement sensors and measuring devices
Example result: a distance or displacement value
Optical, contact and other methods are selected for the application. Thickness measurement requires verification of the measurement setup, including references and sensor arrangement.
Conceptual illustrations of applications and operation, not actual product appearances, scale, sensing ranges or accuracy.
This is an application-based comparison, not mutually exclusive product categories. Target compatibility, range, accuracy and output vary by sensing method and product.
Contact EIKO about sourcing sensors for detection, positioning and dimensional measurement in production and logistics equipment. We investigate suppliers in China and check candidates against your application and equipment requirements.
Detection and Identification
- Photoelectric and fiber-optic sensors for presence, passage and position detection
- Inductive and capacitive proximity sensors for application-specific non-contact detection
- Color-mark and color sensors for identifying printed marks and colors
- Code readers for logistics and production processes
Displacement, Distance and Dimensional Measurement
- Laser and optical displacement sensors for position, step height and thickness measurement applications
- Contact displacement and 3D displacement sensors for dimensions, shapes and profiles
- Distance and ultrasonic sensors for material handling, positioning and arrival detection
- Measuring light curtains and optical communication devices for passing-object dimensions and equipment communication
Typical Applications
Electronic component and semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, film processing, material handling, warehouse equipment and photovoltaic production processes. The appropriate sensing method depends on material, transparency, surface condition, speed and installation environment.
Selection and Replacement Enquiries
Start with whatever information you have. Even without a finalized part number or specification, we can help organize the points to confirm using your application or reference photos.
- Target: what you want to detect or measure, including material, color, transparency and size
- Distance and performance: distance to the target, measuring range, required accuracy and speed
- Environment: indoor or outdoor use, water, oil, dust, temperature and mounting space
- Equipment connection: power supply, output and communication interface, if known
- Sourcing requirements: quantity, desired delivery date, and any existing specifications, photos or drawings
You do not need to complete every item. Replacement candidates require checks of mounting, specifications, communication and operating conditions, with sample evaluation where necessary.
Specifications and communication functions vary by product; these descriptions are not a performance guarantee for every product. Safety light curtains and door switches can also be discussed, subject to individual verification of required certification, safety performance and applicable standards.
Typical Requests
- Search for a specified manufacturer or part number
- Find alternatives for obsolete or difficult-to-source parts
- Reduce cost while maintaining required performance
- Produce custom parts from drawings or samples
- Evaluate prototypes before mass production
- Arrange sourcing, import and delivery from Asia
How EIKO Supports Your Project
- Supplier search: We investigate suitable domestic and overseas suppliers.
- Specifications and quality: We coordinate drawings, samples, changes and inspection requirements.
- Import and delivery: We manage quotations, orders, schedules, logistics, import and delivery in Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I inquire before the specifications or part number are finalized?
Yes. Share the application, existing product, required performance, and estimated quantity as far as known. We will help identify suitable options and points to confirm.
Can I start with samples or a small order?
Conditions vary by supplier, product, and manufacturing process. We confirm sample, prototype, or small-order availability, costs, and lead times for each project.
What if I do not have drawings or a specification sheet?
Contact us with the part number, reference photos, samples, application, or dimensions you have. We will explain any additional information needed for manufacturing or a quotation.
