Riff Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Not so much a CX-One question, but more a "What do you use to measure thickness" question ;) I need something to measure thickness of a veneer sheet, so that I know the exact thickness. The challenges with the measurement is that the sheet travels on a conveyor (rollers between u-bends (not quite sure what's it called in english), and it travels at 2 meters pr second. So it needs to measure things very accuralty and quick. I've tried the zx2 with a calculating unit in between, but for that to work I need to hold it still for a set amount of time and it becomes to slow for the process. Any of you done any high speed measuring while measuring exactly the width down to the tenth of a millimeter? (As in see if the sheet is 1.9, 2.0 or 2.1 for instance) Kurt Quote
tip2112 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Posted May 29, 2015 I have used these in many web thickness applications, but not sure how effective they may be on damp wood veneer (may absorb too much sound from sensor) http://www.bannerengineering.com/en-US/products/sub/235/U-GAGE-Q45UR-Series%E2%80%94Analog Have also used laser sensors aimed at a roller (with empty roller being zero reference) and measuring the thickness of material as it passes around the roler.

ParaffinPower Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 Hello I've used 2 Omron ZX1 lasers (above and below) for an application very similar to yours. Pp Quote
