Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform attachment with the equal space as the detecting range of a material to be measured and to improve waterproof property of a container by moving a detector by a magnetic force without using a rod penetrating the waterproof container, and detecting the position. CONSTITUTION:A material to be measured 10 is attached to a stage seat part 7b of a moving stage 7. The material is moved along a cylinder 2. At this time, a magnet 8 on the side of the stage 7 and a magnet 6 on the side of a detector 5 attract to each other through the wall surface of the cylinder 2 made of Al that is a nonmagnetic material. Therefore, the detector 5 is interlockingly moved with the material to be measured 10 and slidden on a side surface 4a of a main scale 4. The detector 5 observes the brightness of Moire fringes which are formed by combining the graduation of the scale 4 and the index scale of the detector 5 through the photodetector element. The electric signal corresponding to the brightness is processed in a processing means, and the position of the material to be measured 10 is detected. In this way, the attachment can be performed at a space equal to the detecting range of the material to be measured, and the waterproof property of a container is improved.
