Typical Client Applications

Dual scanning lasers measure the plasterboard as it traverses across rollers on the main flow line. The system measures width and edge angle using the 2060. Later in the process fixed SL1400 sensors are used to measurement the thickness profile and to detect surface defects caused by uneven drying of the paper layer.

A scanning laser system is fitted to each of the seven extrusion lines. The laser is used to measure thickness profile and width of the sealant as it travels over a fixed anvil. The system provides a database of all sealant products so that the operator is able to make a simple selection in order to configure the measurement system with the required tolerances. In addition to the laser measurement an Infra red thermometer provides a thermal profile of the sealant as it exits the extruder.

A scanning laser is used to measure the pattern depth and symmetry of a metal panel immediately after a cold forming operation. The laser is scanned across the sheet as it moves along the flow line and generates alarms if the pattern depth moves out of tolerance. The system is configurable to measure any of the seven types of panel.

A scanning laser micrometer is used to measure the thickness profile of extruded glue as it traverses a roller. Thickness profile is measured to better than 50 microns. An infra red sensor is also fitted to the measurement head and provides a thermal profile.
