The high-end laser from Solartron metrology has the capability to 'scan', enabling measurements whilst moving, which is useful in applications such as testing the smoothness of cylindrical objects.

Two lasers can be used to simultaneously check the thickness of a piece part. This is particularly useful for use on delicate and moving material.

With a small spot size, Solartron's laser triangulation units are perfect for taking measurements of small holes and gaps.

With up to 40 khz sampling speed, the LTH can determine the depth of tyre tread post-production.

With a high sampling rate and the ability to scan read, the LTH is ideal for measuring the roundness of thin parts, such as a motor shaft.

With either 2 or 10 mm measurement ranges, height can be determined quickly and easily.

The time consuming and error ridden method of hand writing measurements from vernier calipers can be replaced with a Digital Probe. This construction combined with an SI100 enables the measurement station to supply the values to a PC via R232 directly into the table.

Due to miniaturization of products and improve production cycle time, gauging probes are added onto insert tools to give real time position feedback in order to achieve better quality and cycle time.

Components are getting smaller or fragile and it is critical that they are positioned precisely.

Embedded measurement tools for in-process applications is a growing demand on the market. When a part is being milled or drilled, stopping the process for verification or controlling post process the part is a lost of time. We must keep in mind that cycles time for production is essential.

The most common types of sensor used to test for deformation of a structure is Absolute Displacement sensors. Both can be brought together using Orbit®, Solartron Metrology’s Multi Channel data processing system.
