Sensing device in particular for determining the relative position of an object in space, such as the position of a windshield of a vehicle with respect to this vehicle

摘要

The sensor assembly for determining the position of an object to be manipulated by a robot comprises a main body (1) mounted to rotate on a support piece (2). A first contact pad (5) is longitudinally mobile in order to contact the object, and is mounted to be rotated with the main body (1). A first sensor (19) is provided to measure the value of the displacement of the contact pad (5). An element (13) forms a return cam, allowing a rigid contact (14) to be displaced in a direction perpendicular to that of the displacement of the contact pad. A second contact is provided in the form of a rod whose free end is able to contact the solid part of the main body. This second contact is able to be displaced in a direction perpendicular to that of the first contact when there is rotational movement of the main body. A second sensor measures the displacement values for this second touch contact.
