The Festo SOPA Series Air Gap Sensor senses the exact μm range whether the workpiece is lying flat or resting against the work surface before clamping and whether the machining tool is exactly aligned with the spindle. 

Alternatively, the distance value can be transmitted to the controller via IO-Link or the analog output. Parameters can therefore be changed even when the system is running. This makes it easy to adjust the switching points when workpieces change during the process.
