Optical Micrometer for determining edge distances cross to the transport direction
The width height diameter measurement systems μMETER-X of ELOVIS are used for non-contact cross-section measurement of profiles, strip goods and discrete parts in the production process, during conveying movement in the longitudinal direction. The highly accurate measurement in the light scanner generally serves production monitoring, process optimization and documentation of the delivery status of all manufactured goods. μMETER-X systems use light reflection or transmitted light. μMETER-X systems are maintenance-free, permanently calibrated and measure largely independent of the material. As a kind of “optical caliper”, μMETER-X systems are used for cross-section measurement, profile measurement as well as measurement of width, height, diameter … of web, tape, profiles, tube, plate, board, beam, bolt and roller made out of different materials.

Cross-Section Light Scanner for Width Height Diameter Measurement
The material to be measured passes through the measurement area across the conveying direction of the µMETER-X System in longitudinal direction. As soon as the material is located on the same height as the sensor, the corresponding cross-sectional dimension is automatically and continuously determined. To ensure that the measurement can take place with high accuracy, the measurement material has to be as clean and dry as possible. In addition, the measurement object should pass the µMETER-X system as straight as possible. The measurement principle can be described as optical micrometer / measuring cross-section light scanner for measurements in the production cycle. The µVIS-3D system is based on a laser light-section concept in incident light. But the µVIS-3D system can also process transmitted light information. The µVIS-2D system is based on shading of a reflector by the measuring material.
