The width, height, and volume of adhesive beads can be monitored in real time using laser profilers to ensure quality and minimize rework. This inspection is possible for any bead colour or surface material, including black urethane on a glass windshield.

Laser profilers can measure the shape of a sealant bead, in addition to height and width. By checking the shape, you can catch defects (such as bubbles or collapse) prior to installation and improve seal performance.

Measuring runout of rotors using a non-contact displacement sensor improves cycle times and accuracy. The CL-3000 is commonly selected for its compact size and stability on any surface finish.

Monitor press stroke with high accuracy using long range displacement sensors. With an available range of up to 1m, and fast sampling speed, the LK-G3000 makes it possible to measure press stroke accurately without risking damage to the sensor or press.

Check weld quality immediately post-welding using a 2D/3D laser profiler. Detect defects such as pits or burn-throughs stably without worrying about glare or material colour causing errors.

Measure door gap and flush simultaneously with the LJ-X8000 laser profiler. The high resolution and imaging capability make it possible to measure curved, glossy surfaces accurately regardless of car colour.

Monitor sheet metal bending by capturing the interior profile to inspect the angle, position, and R of a workpiece. Real-time inspection improves quality and minimizes rework.

Quickly check the thickness of blanks prior to stamping using opposing displacement sensors. This reliable method for detecting double blanks helps to avoid press damage or downtime without increasing cycle time.

Simultaneously inspect appearance and critical dimensions of connecting rods. The high resolution 3D images generated from the LJ-X8000 make it possible to catch any defects early in the process.

3D inspection enables reliable detection of nicks and other defects in gear teeth. The laser profiler can stably detect relative changes to catch nicks based on depth and size (even on angled surfaces) without false detection due to dirt.

Inspect assembly accuracy in multiple locations with compact laser displacement sensors. The CL-3000 coaxial heads have diameters as small as Φ8 mm, enabling high speed multi-point inspection.

The LK-G5000 samples quickly enough to capture high speed vibrations stably and accurately. Multiple heads can be connected to montior vibration in several places at once.

Perform 100% inspection of shape and appearance during extrusion using laser profilers. Detect defects and provide real-time process feedback with a single system.

It's possible to get stable OCR on any surface using 3D image processing. Detect characters and measure their depth while ignoring the effects of oil, dirt, or uneven surfaces.

Inspect drill bits dimensions and runout using 2D optical micrometers. The small system fits within equipment to check bits prior to use and support preventative maintenance.

Optical micrometers make it easy to accurately measure outer diameter in hard to reach places, like crankshaft journals. These sensors are robust and require minimal upkeep to maintain high accuracy.
