Dam Height Measurement – Posted in: Height Measurement

Whether it is to retain water, help generate electricity, or collect water for storage, laser rangefinders are often used to measure dam heights. Laser rangefinders can be remotely installed inside a control cabin or inside a protective housing, away from direct sunlight and corrosive humidity.

Static and Dynamic Displacement Testing of Aircraft Structures June 8, 2020 – Posted in: Displacement Measurement

To determine the strength of aircraft structures, components are mounted on tensile testing machines and loads are applied to measure the amount of forces aircraft structures are able to withstand. This is done in order to verify design loads and specifications of the aircraft.

Crash Test Sensors – Posted in: Displacement Measurement

Engineers of automobile crash tests use the AR500 laser position sensor to measure the car’s deceleration during the crash event. Analog signals from the sensors are used to produce a deceleration curve plotted against time.

Hydro Turbine Alignment – Posted in: Displacement Measurement

Hydroelectric engineers in Wenatchee, WA needed a precise, non-contact method for aligning the turbine blades in the system’s housing. They selected an AR700 laser displacement sensor to measure the distance from a known location on the turbine to the sidewall.

Paper Roll Diameter – Posted in: Diameter Measurement

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.

Metal Coil Diameter – Posted in: Diameter Measurement

Laser 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.

Center of Mass Calculations – Posted in: Runout-Vibration

Positioned 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.
