A year or two ago, a process engineer approached the Acuity team looking for a solution to measure the thickness of their rubber product directly on the production line. The customer was looking to measure the thickness of the material in a few locations – a common ask for thickness measurements.
Continue readingAcuity Laser, a US-based non-contact laser measurement company, releases product catalog for 2022 and beyond. Acuity manufactures and sells laser distance sensors and laser measurement systems for industrial and OEM use. Our product line consists of single point triangulation sensors, long distance sensors, 2D/3D laser scanners, and confocal chromatic sensors. We specialize in non-contact laser measurement and our products are used in many applications and industries.
Continue readingAcuity offers a variety of long range sensors for accurate, non-contact measuring. These distance measurement lasers utilize pulsed time-of-flight measurement principles to accurately measure distances. We’ve created a new comparison overview video to introduce each of our long range sensors. Introducing our entry-level long-distance sensor, the AR1000. This sensor can measure up to 30 meters on natural targets and up to 150 meters with a retroreflective target with an accuracy of ± 3 mm. This…
Continue readingStemming from popular demand, Acuity has released both an air-cooling jacket and bracket alignment unit for the AS2100 sensor.
Continue readingIn this video we showcase how we use our AR700 Laser Displacement Sensor to count & display stacks of sheet metal.
Continue readingSometimes video is just the best way to talk about something. In this case, we’ve put together a new overview video on the AS2100 Accurate Laser Distance Sensor. It covers all of its unique features, including: Ability to measure natural targets up to 100 meters Ability to measure on reflective targets up to 500 meters The AS2100 In Action on a rail test Optimal target types Ability to measure high temperature targets The 4 Potential…
Continue readingIn this tutorial video we show you how to output real-time data from your touch panel display to an external system. We use our 8″ touch panel display for this tutorial, but our 7″ touch panel display also has this ability. We also use two AR700 Laser Displacement Sensors; two serial-to-USB cables, or just one if your PC already has a serial port on it; a RS232 null modem; and also a program that can…
Continue readingIn this tutorial video, we show how to take data from your touch panel display and put it on a USB drive. In this example we’re working with an AR700 Laser Displacement Sensor connected to an 8″ touch panel display via the A port. Starting in the measurement screen, you can start doing measurements if you want to, but it’s not recording right off the bat. To start recording, go to app settings and then…
Continue readingManufacturers are often confronted with measurement challenges. Whether it’s on their production lines, in their quality control, or within their integrated products, production managers and directors are consistently confronted with industrial measurement obstacles. Acuity has been helping industries for over 20 years. We put together a short video compiling some of the most common industrial measurement challenges we’ve helped companies face using our laser sensors, including: Thickness measurement Surface plane analysis Cut-to-length measurement Length measurement…
