3D Cross-Section Light Scanner for Width Height Diameter Measurement
The VIS/3D sensors from ELOVIS work on the basis of non-contact edge sensing transversely to movement direction of the measurement object. In addition to the width information, the 3D sensor concept also enables depth information, which can also be used to measure a material thickness or height. Width measurements can thus be made e.g. independent of thickness. The precise measurement in the cross-section light sensor is used for production monitoring, process optimization and documentation of the delivery status of the produced goods. VIS/3D systems are maintenance-free, permanently calibrated and measure largely independent of material. As a kind of “optical micrometer”, VIS/3D systems are used for cross-section measurement, width, height, diameter determination of strips, profiles, tubes, plates, beams, bolts, rolls made of different materials.

3D 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.
