ABSTRACT:
A tactile sensor device for detecting a state of contact with a workpiece has a base body and a contact member spaced from the base body by a gap, for contacting the workpiece. The contact member is supported on the base body by a thin leaf spring for angular movement with respect to the base body and/or movement across the gap to cause a change in a distance between the contact member and the base body across the gap when the contact member is contacted by the workpiece. A gap sensor is mounted in the base body for generating a signal depending on the distance between the contact member and the base body across the gap at a predetermined region. A state of contact between the contact member and the workpiece can be detected on the basis of the distance across the gap as detected by the signal generated by the gap sensor.
