Abstract :
Modelling of a novel cone-jet sensor using 2-D finite element analysis was investigated for dimensional measurement. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrated that a cone-jet sensor supplied with air can be used to accurately measure displacement and its working range of 1.5 to 4.2 mm is some ten times greater than the simple back-pressure sensor. It is anticipated that this sensor will find wide applications in manufacturing industry due to its wider working range, high precision and other features
