MLS Laser Triangulation Measurement Meter
Compact CCD Measurement
These MLS Laser Triangulation Meters (LTMs) are compact units containing both the integrated Laser Emitter and CCD Camera with digital processor for precise, fast measurement within the range of 400 - 4000mm. Typical usage examples are Thickness Measurement, Weight & Volume Control, Tension Control, Roll Diameter, Profile Measurement, Vibration Monitoring, Molten Metal Level Control to resolutions of between 0.0008 mm and 0.5 mm.
For high temperature environments, there are models which measure off surfaces temperatures of up to 1250°C and 1500°C respectively.
The products distance is calculated by an internal CCD array that measures the position of the emitted laser spot (Ø1 - 4mm depending on model) focused on the product. LED indicators show whether the product is central in the measuring range or is outside the measuring range. These MLS LTMs can be synchronised in pairs to provide an indication of change of product width or thickness.
These LTM’s have a wide range of usage including measurement off surfaces where other devices fail and are ideal for measuring off plastic, wood, glass, paper, foam, rubber, textiles, food products, cold products, hot or molten metals as well as liquids.
The MLS Laser Triangulation Meter is user programmable and incorporates various selectable filters such as Level Mode etc. One important selectable function is Group Mode calculating a running average from a number of user specified measuring points whilst discounting user-defined bad measuring points.
Data is output via RS232 or RS422 and analogue generated in real time from the average values calculated at the measuring frequency (2kHz - 2000 times every second). For added accuracy, the Select 5 model operates at 5kHz and the Select 10 model at 10kHz.
Total Gauge solutions are available for providing width or thickness as an absolute value with the option of incorporating automatic master sample calibration to provide exceptionally long term accuracy.
Secondary protective Environmental Enclosures are available including Air Purged, Air Cooled or Water Cooled with Air Purging.
