Abstract
An optical displacement sensor and a system are provided. The optical displacement sensor includes a light projecting unit that projects light onto a workpiece, a light receiving unit that receives light reflected from the workpiece and generates light receiving data, a processing unit that calculates a displacement amount of the workpiece on the basis of the light receiving data, an input unit that receives a timing synchronization signal, and an output unit that outputs the displacement amount calculated by the processing unit. The processing unit controls, in response to the timing synchronization signal received through the input unit, an exposure duration determined by an overlap between a duration during which the light projecting unit projects light onto the workpiece and a duration during which the light receiving unit receives the reflected light. The system includes the optical displacement sensor and a control device that generates the timing synchronization signal.
