Meandering and edge position measurement with a reflectance-type sensor

Example Application: Meandering measurement of rubber sheets

Optimal measurement system

Optimal measurement system2D Laser Displacement Sensor

The laser line reflects off the target creating a profile from which the edge position fluctuations can be measured. This measurement can be taken from above or the side of the target.

KEY POINTS
  • Edge position variation and height fluctuations can be measured simultaneously.
  • Edge meandering can be monitored from a distance
  • 2D Triangulation Method.
    In-line Multi-point measurement.
    World's Fastest sampling rate at 64,000 images/sec.
