Laser Micrometer For Fast, In-Line Inspection

Omron's ZX-GT high-speed, wide laser beam CCD sensor offers in-line, non-contact measurement accurate to 10 ?m. Highlights include: compact size makes it easy to install in tight locations; and set-up, monitoring, changeover and diagnostics have been simplified for use by operators with little previous experience or limited skills. Application solution: inline measurement of large diameter pipes with digital micrometers has been costly, clumsy to install and hard to program until now; Omron's new wide laser beam CCD measurement sensor ZX-GT delivers 10 micrometer accuracy measuring pipe diameters up to 500 mm; the ultra-compact sensor head and receiver with 28 mm-wide beam enables flexible positioning, fitting between equipment; with a 0.5 millisecond (high-speed mode) sampling time, Omron's ZX-GT tested seven times faster than any sensor in its class; transparent objects, glass and reflective surfaces do not influence the result, making ZX-GT ideal for positioning and measurement applications found in the se
