Abstract:In order to improve the accuracy of the self made displacement sensor based on PSD and laser triangulation, a simple and feasible data correcting method was proposed. The measuring principles, sensitive devices and self made craft adopted by the sensor were studied. Firstly, experimental calibrations on the static accuracy were carried out. The displacement error curve of the sensor was analyzed. By comparing the displacement error curve with the detected error curve of the sensitive devices, considering the assembly process of the self made sensor, the error sources were analyzed. Then, by adjusting the specific parameters of the displacement pass formula of laser triangulation, the purpose of optimizing the static accuracy of the self made displacement sensor was achieved. Finally, the universality of this correction method was proved by the optimization results of the displacement curves obtained under different ranges and steps. Experimental results show that, after the correction, the measuring error of the self made displacement sensor is reduced by about 80% and its static precision reaches approximately 1%.
