Results of investigating the triangulation measurement error as a function of signal processing algorithms and probing beam width are presented. It is shown that a median processing algorithm and a probing beam of 100 m width will reduce the minimum error from 10 to unities of micrometers. Circuitry decisions ensuring the rate of the sensors in the range from 1000 to 100 000 measurements per second are considered. This has made it possible to solve complex problems and extended the application field of laser position sensors. Applications of laser position sensors developed at the Technological Design Institute of Scientific Instrument Engineering of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in inspection-measurement systems used in the metallurgy and automobile industry, energy producing branch, and railroad are illustrated.
