- Does anyone have a suggestion on how to build or where to buy
- a sensor for a feedback loop which will detect the air/fluid or
- air/solid interface within 0.001mm? The device must determine
- the thickness of a very soft material, and be able to detect
- the surface without deforming it. For robotics, it would close
- the "caliper" until it "touched", then note the thickness, and
- procede with the next step. Any suggetions appreciated.
