Function and Applications

The Cobra4 Sensor-Unit motion measures position, velocity and
acceleration of an object moving in one dimension, e.g. a
cart on a demonstration track. The measurement is performed via
an ultrasound sensor. 

Benefits


Contact-free measurement of position, velocity and
acceleration

Direct display and calculation of the measured values

The movement of different objects can be analyzed, e.g. carts
on a demonstration track, students in the classroom, bouncing
balls etc.
