As aerial vehicles become autonomous, sensors are needed to verify altitude above landing strips. Also, low-flying aircraft may use laser rangefinders to profile the grounds below.
Continue readingSensors are commonly used to detect and measure pieces of mail at blistering speeds. Integrators of Postal Automation systems use AR200 laser measurement sensors for counting individual flat packs in long stacks.
Continue readingLong distance sensors can be mounted on cranes to profile the height of log stacks to provide an accurate inventory count.
Continue readingAn OEM machine maker who has for years been making equipment for the concrete block industry is addressing a quality assurance issue by integrating Acuity laser displacement sensors into a non-contact height measurement system.
Continue readingUsing the AR1000 laser distance sensor, the feed manager can collect metrics for each cow by measuring “hip height”, a major indicator for the size of a cow.
Continue readingScience museums hosting interactive exhibits that measure human height use Acuity AR1000 laser distance sensors to automatically measure a person’s height.
Continue readingA manufacturer of flux-core weld wire uses laser measurement sensors to measure the height of flux in a channeled wire.
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.
