MEASURING DEVICE, MEASURING SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR MEASURING DISTANCE TO OBJECT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system that can make an air gauge operate always at an advantageous standoff and can perform measurement so as to maximize the performance and useful measuring range.

SOLUTION: The system includes the air gauge configured to detect the distance to a surface of the object and a sensor configured to measure at least one from the group including a relative position of the air gauge and a relative position of the surface of the object. Outputs of the air gauge and the sensor are combined to produce a combined air gauge reading.
