As a very large roll of paper winds off to smaller individual rolls, manufacturers must ensure that the smaller rolls have enough material present to be able to sell.
Continue readingLaser rangefinders can be mounted perpendicular to the coil surface. If the distance from the sensor to the roll core is known, a single laser rangefinder can be used to monitor the change in distance from the roll core to the sensor, giving way for diameter calculation measurements.
Continue readingPositioned perpendicular to the axis of rotation, Acuity lasers can take thousands of measurements per second with accuracies as low as a single micron without adding any mass or measurable force that would skew the data.
Continue readingOur cost effective sensors are placed at various sections of the engine to measure the vibration displacement in multiple engine locations.
Continue readingMeasuring the runout on cylinders is a simple task using laser displacement sensors. Align the laser path with the axis of rotation and collect your data at high speeds.
Continue readingAluminum is often sold in long sheets, sometimes up to 20-30 feet long. The customer expects these sheets to be a specific length.
Continue readingA large steel producer makes products in various shapes and sizes. Laser sensors measure the position of the end relative to the distance to a saw blade.
Continue readingThe dimensional measurement of pipes is crucial for manufacturing to strict tolerances. A system integrator uses a pair of AR1000 laser distance sensors to measure the differential length of hollow pipe during its production.
Continue readingRangefinders are used in the manufacturing process to make sure glowing yellow/red hot billet lengths are to the correct length dimensions. Laser rangefinders can be remotely installed and offer a safer solution.
Continue readingLumber mills are taking advantage of the high speed and high accuracy AR2000 sensor for sorting applications. As lumber is moved down the conveyor line, sensor length measurements are made on each board in less than two seconds.
