Introduction to the principle of single sensor thickness and width measurement

Laser measurement sensors are often used in industry and research for dimensional verification of length, width or thickness. Typical applications include determining wood thickness, steel coil thickness, paper coil width, etc. Engineers choose non-contact laser sensors because they are very accurate, fast, and the distance between the measuring device and the surface of the object being measured can be very long.

Methods of measuring the dimensions of objects

The dimensions of objects can be measured by several methods using non-contact sensors. The first method is to use a single device to measure the length, width, thickness, and other dimensions of an object placed on a stationary surface (often referred to as a reference surface). If there is no reference, the laser sensor only needs to measure the distance of its target relative to the sensor, not the position of the opposite side. For objects or materials that are in motion or not in contact with a reference surface, engineers can use two sensors. Measure dimensions when an object passes between two sensors

single sensor method

Dimensional verification is simple and straightforward when the object is at rest and in contact with a reference surface. This is mostly the case for bench tops and quality assurance (Quality Assurance) tests using measuring fixtures. The selected sensor has a sufficient measurement range to meet the maximum measurement size. Engineers install the sensor directly opposite the reference surface.
