Positioned perpendicular to the axis of rotation, Acuity lasers can take thousands of measurements per second with accuracies as low as a single micron without adding any mass or measurable force that would skew the data.

UAV projects depend on sensors to provide spatial information for route planning and crash avoidance.

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University uses a laser sensor in a system to measure the alignment of detectors. A full presentation of the project can be accessed from their website.

Rangefinders can monitor freeway bridge piling positioning, including the structural position movement of pilings over time as well as other structural monitoring.

A major audio speaker manufacturer contacted Acuity to help solve a challenging applied measurement problem. In this sound vibrations scenario, a sensor with fast frequency response was needed to profile the entire amplitude of cone movement.

Road profiling systems incorporate non-contact laser sensors to measure the distance to the road surface and accelerometers to compensate for the effects of the vehicles movement.
