µMETER-X-TLS

Optical micrometer for width, height, thickness, diameter, gap and position

ELOVIS TLS-Wx sensors are optical micrometers, also called cross-sectional light scanners, which are used for dimensional measurements in manufacturing and quality control. Due to their transmitted light principle, the sensors offer extensive material and surface independence. TLS-Wx sensors measure both continuous material and piece goods with very high accuracy and high measuring rate. TLS-Wx sensors are designed for cascading in order to cover large sensing ranges with full measuring accuracy.

Measured variables such as width, diameter, gap, height, thickness, position, center position, edge distance and segments can be checked with TLS-Wx.

Optical micrometer for width, height, thickness, diameter, gap and position

The material to be measured passes through the measuring range of the µMETER-X system, which is mounted transversely to the conveying direction, in the longitudinal direction. The respective cross-sectional dimension is determined automatically and continuously. In order for the measurement to be performed with high accuracy, the material to be measured must be clean and dry. In addition, the measured object should pass through the µMETER-X system as straight as possible. The measuring principle can be described as an optical micrometer / measuring transverse light sensor for measurement in the production run. The TLS system is based on shading of the light emitted by the light transmitter by the measuring material.
