LASER scanners for dimensional control of cylinders represent a cutting-edge technology for dimensional control in production lines, offering precision and speed in the inspection of liners, bushings and bearing cages. These non-invasive tools are designed to optimize quality and reduce waste.
How LASER Scanners Work
LASER scanners use focused beams of light to measure the dimensions and geometries of components. The LASER beam is reflected from the surface of the object, providing accurate data on its shape and size.
Advantages of LASER dimensional control
- High precision: micron measurements for tight tolerances.
- Quickness: real-time inspections, even on high-speed lines.
- Non-invasiveness: no physical contact with the components.
Industrial applications
- Automotive sector: checking critical parts such as bearings and bushings.
- Aerospace industry: checking of engine barrels and cages.
- General mechanical production: control of cylindrical and structural components.
Integration into production lines
LASER scanners can be installed directly on production lines, synchronizing with automation systems for a continuous and uninterrupted workflow.
Real-time dimensional control
