An Acuity customer is using a dual opposed AP820 laser line configuration to be able to measure the thickness of a dark plastic sheet material. The uneven surface profile is used to calculate the overall thickness and make sure the material maintains a minimum thickness requirement.
Continue readingLaser scanners are used to track and detect weld seams using laser line triangulation, providing a robust method for controlling the position of welding torches and ultrasonic test probes for weld inspection.
Continue readingLasers are often used for quality assurance for the fit and finish on household appliances. Laser scanners provide a robust method to precisely monitor gap position while creating an automated process.
Continue readingCircuit boards have complex designs and their sizes are becoming tinier and tinier. Companies that specialize in PCB inspection systems need ultra-precise measurement sensors to profile tiny features like holes, solder joints, pin locations, etc.
Continue readingAcuity’s AP820 is used to profile aluminum and steel billets with high repeatability and speed before scalping. Several Acuity AP820 laser scanners can be mounted in parallel to cover the whole width of the ingot with one scan.
Continue readingGlobal equipment providers to the cement and minerals industries use distance laser meters for diagnosing runout and shape deformation problems.
Continue readingRoad profiling systems incorporate non-contact laser sensors to measure the distance to the road surface and accelerometers to compensate for the effects of the vehicles movement.
Continue readingLaser sensors are used to monitor loop distance between rolls. The non-contact laser is mounted above the loop and pointed down to measure the bottom of the loop.
Continue readingRangefinders are used in elevator positioning applications ranging from indoor elevator position measurement to outdoor position tracking of metallic elevators.
Continue readingIn order to prevent any problems with the pantograph and to enhance the operation of the train system, the use of a laser distance sensor is ideal for pantograph inspections.
