DG1C LASER
DIAMETER GAUGE
Datasheet
The DG1C Laser
Diameter Gauge is primarily used for the fast, precise and contact-less
measurement of outside diameter of cylindrical or oval objects in the nominal
size range of 0.05 to 10 mm. The object to be measured may be opaque or
transparent (e.g. glass or plastic) and may be stationary or it may move
longitudinally (for example on a drawing line) or transversely (measurement of
machined parts).
The main functions of the equipment are the following:
Measurement: Continuous contact-less
measurement and display of the outside diameter of the object
Classification: Classification
of the object according to the measured diameter and the programmed nominal
diameter and tolerances
SPC software:: Statistical
data evaluation and archiving software with chart recorder type display
(optional)
PID control output: 4-20
mA analogue PID current signal for controlling the technological process
(optional).
Proportional analogue
output: 4-20
mA analogue output signal proportional to the measured diameter (e.g. for
chart-recorder) (optional).
Versions:
·
XY measuring head for measuring oval objects
·
Multiple Measuring Heads with one Control Unit
·
Custom designs and individual software development
Special Variants:
·
Quality check of wire spools according to Cp and Cpk values during or
after the manufacturing phase with interconnect to the spooling/manufacturing machine
·
Sender and receiver part of the Measuring head mounted separately,
allowing roll-trough of individual parts or measuring wires at different stages
of the drawing process by moving the measuring head up and down
Typical applications:
·
Measurement of copper wires with and without lacquer layer
·
Measurement of tungsten an molybdenum wires
·
Measurement of plastic tubes during production
·
Measurement of machined parts
