Abstract
Provided is a displacement sensor having a modular structure that allows further downsizing. A housing of a head is made up of a main housing and a lid member, both of which are precision molded products made of a metal material. A first holder to which a light projector is bonded and a second holder to which a light receiver is bonded are individually positioned on and bonded to the lid member. This work is performed by a mounting device. Optical components such as a light projecting lens are also bonded to the lid member, and the lid member modularized by incorporating such optical components is assembled and welded to the main housing.
