µSPEED-SMART - ELOVIS

Unidirectional Gauge for non-contact Length Measurement and Speed Measurement

The μSPEED-SMART measurement system is the high performance smart sensor for non-contact length measurement and speed measurement. µSPEED-SMART is the sensor solution, to display winding processes for nearly any number of material and surfaces, at low as well as very high speeds. μSPEED-SMART measures surfaces speeds of processes up to 100 m/s with a general measurement accuracy of +/- 0.05%. μSPEED-SMART combines sensors and evaluation in a 0.9 kg lightweight, compact sensor head housing and directly provides length and/or speed data. The measured value output is done via a quadrature output or as ASCII-string via a serial interface. Industrial bus and Ethernet are available as interface options.

Measurement Principle

Messprinzip Laser-Doppler

Measurement Principle µSPEED-SMART – unidirectional sensor for non-contact length measurement and speed measurement

On the medium to be measured, a stripe pattern is generated by means of two laser beams. As a result of the movement of the scattering surface, the light backscattered into the detector is modulated in intensity, the frequency of the brightness modulation being directly proportional to the speed of the medium and thus to the Doppler frequency. The scattered light is converted via a photodetector into an electrical signal and fed via an analog / digital converter to a processor. The processor determines the current speed and path length from the digitized signal. The use of special marks or scales on the test object is not necessary. This method is known as “laser surface velocimeter” and “laser Doppler measurement systems”. The μSPEED-SMART is a smart sensor for non-contact length measurement and speed measurement according to the heterodyne measurement method.
