Abstract
A position detecting device is equipped with a device main body into which a pressure fluid supplied from a pressure fluid supply source is introduced, and an attaching/detaching mechanism that enables attachment and detachment with respect to the device main body. The attaching/detaching mechanism includes an internal nozzle that delivers, toward the side of a detection nozzle, the pressure fluid supplied to the device main body, and a detection port that supplies, to the detection nozzle, the pressure fluid delivered from the internal nozzle.
Claims14
A position detecting device for detecting a position of a workpiece by ejecting a pressure fluid supplied from a pressure fluid supply source from a detection nozzle with respect to a detection surface of the workpiece, and detecting a back pressure of the pressure fluid, comprising:
- a device main body into which the pressure fluid supplied from the pressure fluid supply source is introduced;
- and
- an attaching/detaching mechanism that enables attachment and detachment with respect to the device main body, including an internal nozzle that delivers, toward the side of the detection nozzle, the pressure fluid supplied to the device main body, and a detection port that supplies, to the detection nozzle, the pressure fluid delivered from the internal nozzle.
