Continue readingWhether 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.
Continue readingTo 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.
Continue readingEngineers 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.
Continue readingTurbine engineers often want to remotely monitor components. The monitoring of blade tip displacement is an important metric and it requires a sensor that allows measurements away from the danger of the moving blades.
Continue readingHydroelectric 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.
