Gap Measurement
Laser Sensors Used for Gap Measurement
Gap measurement may be needed for precise monitoring or quality control in order to satisfy technical or visual requirements. Single point sensors can be used to monitor the gap distance between rollers, sheets, etc. Laser scanners can be used to profile the gap of a seam, object, or weld.
Fit and Finish of Appliances
Lasers 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.
Weld Gap Detection
Laser 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.
Width and Gap Measurement
A customer has an application where they needed to be able to measure the width of a woven material very accurately as it is being made. The customer decided to use the Acuity AP820-80 laser line sensor that projects a laser line of 580 points across a laser line of a 2.5″ length.
