The eddy current sensor series IC with integrated electronics guarantees highly accurate measurements thanks to linearized characteristic curve. Accuracy has been improved by up to a factor of 20 compared to previous models. The teach-in function allows the measuring range of the eddy current sensor to be optimally adapted to the respective application. Installation tolerances or material properties of the measured object can be compensated directly. Setting individual measuring range limits offers the user the greatest possible flexibility and simplifies sensor integration. As the complete analysis electronics are built into the sensor, installation and mounting are also extremely uncomplicated.

The high-performance optoNCDT ILR2250 laser distance sensor is used whenever large measuring ranges and high accuracy are required. The optoNCDT ILR2250 can be installed at distances up to 100 m, and even up to 150 m with a reflector film. This sensor impresses when measuring dark, structured and poorly reflecting surfaces, while providing stable measurement results to millimeter accuracy. The optoNCDT ILR2250 laser distance sensor is used in transportation, logistics and conveyance technologies as well as automation and the metals industry. This is where the sensor enables reliable measurement results even when it is, e.g., installed at a safe distance from heat emitting measuring objects. In addition, difficult-to-access places via mirrors or through glass sheets can be detected.

Particular Challenge: For the assessment of rotating parts, numerous parameters have to be taken into consideration: Concentricity, radial run-out and axial run-out (i.e. wobble); furthermore thickness, diameter, planarity and the absence of surface defects had to be examined. The solution developed by QuellTech consists in a configuration of three Q6 Laser Laser Scanners.Each of the lateral surfaces is assigned to its own scanner. In order to enable the thickness precisely to be determined, both laser lines are mutually oriented in opposite direction. The third scanner inspects the outer circumference of the wheel, this way measuring diameter and radial run-out. All of these scanners are subject to encoder signals supplied by the rotary axis and synchronously triggered, so possible defects on the wheel can precisely be localized. The measurement takes place at a resolution of ca. 30 µm, and a cloud comprising several millions of points are obtained.

Particular Challenges: The seal surfaces in this case are made of very glossy metal, with the drawback of emitted reflections. This effect during an optical measurement must be eliminated. Furthermore, it is absolutely necessary to guide the laser scanner on a linear path over the surface, since fluctuations of distance may falsify the measurement result. QuellTech Solution: The Quelltech model Q5 disposes of an adequate resolution in X and Z direction and proves to be able to verify the planarity tolerances and to measure the size of defects. Meanwhile a precise rotary axle, used as guiding element, moves the scanner over the surface to be evaluated. Interfering artefacts caused by the glossy finish are suppressed by particular algorithms integrated within the software. As an encoder value is permanently supplied by the rotary axle, the position of each scanner profile within the point cloud can accurately be determined.

Many materials cannot be measured tactilely, therefore non-contact thickness measurements become necessary. Especially e.g. with glowing materials, or wet processes, a continuous tactile measurement is nearly impossible. Furthermore, web speeds in plant engineering and production have increased, requiring a corresponding fast sampling rate of the measuring systems. In addition, high measuring widths are often required. Why is contact free measurement technology so perfect for this application? Can be used in any web width, Scalable measurement thicknesses from a few millimetres to several meters, Thickness and coating thickness can be measured for different materials, Vibrations of the web materials, can be compensated, Turnkey solution for mechanical engineering, Non-contact and non-destructive measurement method, Large distances to the measured object are possible, Measurement of free forms,

The CM-Sensors are specially designed for demanding applications: They withstand high pressures up to 100 bars (and more) at temperatures up to 190 °C. At conventional sensors with a similar size the probe head must be kept free from surrounding conductive objects, in order to avoid pre-attenuation of the measuring system. In contrast, the socket for the CM-sensor does not require additional notches or holes.This feature arises from the utilization of zirconium oxide as housing material and ferritic components with a focusing effect. The CM-sensor is typically applied to monitor the orbit of a turbocharger’s shaft.Its ball bearings have a squeeze film damper to reduce the rotor vibration. In order to optimize the entire system the CM-sensors detect the exact position of the turbine- and compressor wheel under real operating conditions.

colorSENSOR OT sensors are fixed lens sensors with True Color detection. The sensor is equipped with a special illumination and optical system in order to perfom relative color measurements reliably even from a large distance.

The integrated AUTO measurement mode enables reliable measurements even on dark, partly reflecting and remote measuring objects. Therefore, the ILR2250 sensors can be used for distance measurements on numerous surfaces.
