Thickness Measurement System. RF160.20 Series Safety precautions · Use supply voltage and interfaces indicated in the system specifications. · In connection/disconnection of cables, the system power must be switched off. · Do not use the system in locations close to powerful light sources.
Thickness Measurement System. RF160.20 Series Structure and operating principle The operation of the system is based on continuous scanning of the sheet surfaces by laser sensors. The system contains two laser triangulation sensors (2) mounted on the C-frame (3). The C-frame is installed on the carriage of the linear motion module (4). The system also contains a calibration plate (6).
Thickness Measurement System. RF160.20 Series 5.2. Control cabinet and panel computer The control cabinet contains a power supply, a motor driver for the linear motion system, and an Ethernet switch. The industrial panel computer is designed to receive information from sensors, analyze and display measurement results.
