The Keyence AT3-010 is a high-precision sensor head designed for displacement and dimensional measurement applications where accuracy and reliability are essential. Built as part of the AT3 series, this sensor head combines fine measurement capability with robust design features that make it highly effective in industrial and laboratory environments. With a measurement range of ±5 mm, the AT3-010 is well-suited for monitoring small displacements and dimensional variations, allowing for detailed and reliable inspection of mechanical parts, electronic assemblies, and precision-machined components.

One of the primary strengths of the AT3-010 is its high linearity of 0.5% of full scale. This means that throughout the entire measurement range, the sensor delivers consistent accuracy with minimal deviation. Such performance ensures that the device can be trusted for quality control, process monitoring, and R&D measurement tasks where even small errors can lead to significant production issues. Its ability to maintain stable output across varying conditions provides users with confidence in measurement repeatability.

Another critical feature is its low measurement force of 0.98 N. This makes the AT3-010 particularly effective in applications where the target object is delicate or sensitive to mechanical contact. For example, thin electronic components, precision-machined surfaces, or soft materials can be measured without the risk of deformation or damage. This gentle yet reliable measurement capability enhances the versatility of the sensor, expanding its usefulness to a wide range of industries, including electronics, automotive, and precision manufacturing.

Compatibility with the AT3-400 amplifier unit ensures that the AT3-010 sensor head integrates seamlessly into measurement systems. The amplifier processes the sensor’s output to deliver high-resolution, stable readings, which can then be analyzed for real-time monitoring or recorded for detailed evaluation. This combination enhances measurement efficiency while reducing system complexity. The sensor’s design also emphasizes durability, ensuring long operational life even in demanding environments.

In practical use, the AT3-010 is often employed in automated inspection systems, production lines, and research facilities. Its precise range, low-force contact, and reliable output make it invaluable for detecting dimensional variations, verifying tolerances, and ensuring product quality. Whether used for inline quality assurance or in controlled testing environments, the AT3-010 provides consistent results that reduce downtime and minimize the risk of defective products reaching the customer.

Overall, the Keyence AT3-010 sensor head represents a finely engineered solution for high-precision measurement applications. By combining accuracy, durability, and gentle measurement force, it delivers exceptional performance that meets the stringent demands of modern manufacturing and research.
