An accurate dimensional measurement of 2D/3D profile such as gaps, width, contour, edge angle, can be achieved using high performance profile measurement sensors such as optical micrometres and laser profile scanners.
Laser Profile Scanners
Bestech offers the ScanControl Laser profile Scanners, which are one of the highest-performing laser profile scanners in the market for evaluation of 2D/3D profile properties with the highest accuracy and fast measurement rate. They are compact and relatively lightweight, making them ideal for integrated applications such as in robotic applications and inline monitoring in production environments.
A few of the applications include:
High-Precision Manufacturing Applications
1. 3D Surface Inspection
The ScanControl sensors can accurately perform a 3D inspection of coated films because of the high-resolution and steady indications on various measurement entities. While working with these profile measurement sensors, it becomes easy to identify the faults in even the smallest geometries. For example, spalling and inclusions are reliably determined and output by the scanners.
2. Inspection of Adhesive Beading and Applied Sealants
The ScanControl laser scanners review the sight and measurement of adhesive beading while handling the distance control of the dispenser tool. With these scanners, it is easy to detect even the finest profile of beads on bedding.
3. Coating Application on Edges
Coating of electrodes needs an extremely high precision technology and the laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon can offer the above-mentioned measurement with superior accuracy and resolution. The laser profile scanning helps in reducing anomalies and undulations once detected.
4. Detection of Curved Edges After Cutting
Laser profile sensors come in handy in detecting curvatures and deformations after the longitudinal cutting of films. Reliably detecting such faults is effective when performed during production. The laser sensors provide stable measurement outcomes because of their incredibly high-resolution and insensitivity to imaging surfaces.
5. Position Control of Battery Cells
Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon examine the battery cells and their position after assembly. Consequently, a 3D image is produced and compared with the CAD data.
Optical Micrometres
Optical micrometres are available as optical fibres and laser precision micrometres. These profile measurement sensors are suitable for harsh environments and applications to industrial instruments where high precision is of the utmost priority.
Optical micrometres are applicable from manufacturing to quality control in production lines. These profile measurement sensors are the right fit for monitoring and measurement readings like diameter, gap, position and segment.
Laser optical micrometres can perform non-contact 2D and 3D scans, such as for inspection of micro-electromechanical systems. Hence, engineers working in high-precision technologies such as in engineering or advanced R&D can benefit from applications of these sensors.
One of the other applications of these sensors includes position and assembly monitoring on automatic assembly machines and conveyor systems. The compact design and flexible orientation of the optical micrometres make them particularly suitable for this application as the measurement needs to be conducted in a tight space.
At Bestech, we provide a wide range of high-precision profile measurement sensors from MicroEpsilon. We have accumulated experience in integrating profile scanners for a wide range of applications such as in predictive maintenance, quality assurance, machine surveillance, process monitoring, industrial automation, and many more. Integrating these sensors on the measurement process has provided a meaningful insight which contributes to enhancing product manufacturing and processes. From machine manufacturing to automation in production lines, industries can benefit from these high-precision sensors and measuring systems.
