Flatness measurement with multi-dimension control units and LVDT linear transducers

digicheck measures flatness with lvdt probes and multi-dimension electronic controller

Flatness measurement is a method used for measure flatness of a surface or a piece.

It is an important part of many industrial processes and can be done with different techniques. One of the most common methods for measuring flatness is theuse of LVDT probes and linear transducers. This method has become increasingly popular due to its high accuracy and reliability.

For measurements obtained from LVDT probes and linear transducers, amulti-dimension control unit, to ensure uniformity across multiple parts or surfaces to be measured. This control unit uses multiple sensors placed on the surface to be measured, obtaining readings from each sensor at different points on the surface. The acquired data is then compared with predetermined values, which allow to obtain accurate measurements with minimal variations between the various measurement points.

Dimensional checks with multi-quota control units and LVDT linear transducers

MODULCHECK series dimensional and geometric control systems allow the measurement and determination of conformity of mechanical parts and discrete objects using objective measurement procedures that can be easily managed even by non-expert personnel. The innovative architecture on which the MODULCHECK system is based allows the creation of dimensional and geometric test benches (static or dynamic) using easily available equipment and sensors and easily editable during setup or directly in production also by the end customer.

MODULCHECK systems are suitable for measurements directly on the production line and also managed by unqualified personnel. The visualization interface has been deliberately made simple and easy to consult but without renouncing the powerful mathematical functions intended for the analysis of dimensional and geometric characteristics. 

All production data are stored in a local database with the possibility of transferring or synchronizing with existing databases (SQL, XML or CSV) for a complete and reliable analysis of data in real time.

SB-1000 series LASER micrometers

laser micrometer for width and edge position measurements of belts and carpets

A wide range of application modes to make high-precision measurements with ease.

The SB-1000 Series consists of a range of high precision intelligent sensors, which guarantee high performance at low cost and are equipped with the most advanced functions for operation on the production line.

The technology and functions developed for high precision measuring instruments ensure high levels of accuracy.

The solid construction of the SB-1000 series devices makes it possible to use them even in harsh environments. Easy to use, they allow you to perform fast and stable measurements.

The newly developed optical system enables high levels of stability and measurement accuracy to be achieved.

Multiple wavelength LASER micrometers

laser micrometer for edge and position measurement on belts and carpets

In traditional lasers, the transmission beam produces a pattern a
accumulation points. This is an interference problem specific to the laser, caused by the fact that it has only one wavelength. Thanks to the use of a multi-wavelength laser, the RDSB series sensor does not exhibit this unwanted behavior. Since the shadow projections that form on the CCD are sharper, the sensor maintains a high level of stability, even with hard-to-detect targets such as transparent objects.

The parallel processing processor DSP, built into the receiver, allows the sensor to process data at high speeds, thus reducing noise and measurement error levels to a minimum.

Typical applications

  • Edge control and position detection in tape, sheet or panel production lines
  • External diameter measurement of wires, pipes, cables, rods, plugs
  • Method of measuring internal diameter or gap in rings or gaskets
  • Distance measurement between the end of the measurement range and the edge of a target in automatic assembly lines
  • Measurement of width or position in extrusions or irregular profiles.
  • Pin height measurement or correct insertion of components in mounting seats.

The LASER LDM family of distance meters consists of a series of optoelectronic distance measuring devices for industrial applications with analogue interface (from 4 mA to 20 mA) or digital (Ethernet, Profinet, Profibus, RS232, RS422).

The LDM series LASER distance meters are used for the precise measurement of distances from a few meters to three kilometers. The distance measurement represents aconsolidated application for laser technology.

These optical sensors use LASER (pulse or modulated) light to measure distances, heights, lengths, levels and positions in a non-contact process. To achieve this, all components work together in a perfectly coordinated overall system.

This system consists of a laser emitter, optical transmitters and receivers, photosensitive diodes and sophisticated electronics and algorithms for time measurement or phase measurement. We use different optoelectronic principles for our measuring devices, such as time of flight, phase comparison and back-mixing LASER pulse. These methods allow singles accurate measurements to the millimeter, and measuring ranges up to several hundred meters. Using our LASER distance meters is possible measure on natural surfaces or on special reflectors obtaining fast and precise results.

LASER distance meters work using visible or invisible optical radiation and are classified in accordance with current regulations in class 1 or 2 (safe classes for operation even without protective glasses).

The compact construction allows easy installation of the LASER distance meter even where space is limited or in industrial applications. All devices offer standard interfaces, analog or digital data output and parameterizable switching outputs. The family of LASER LDM distance meters is particularly used for applications in the industrial sector with analog (4 - 20 mA) or digital (Ethernet, Profinet, Profibus, RS232, RS422, SSI).
