Laser Thickness Gauge System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the Microtrak 3 Thickness Gauge System, a precision measurement solution that combines laser triangulation sensors with a modular controller. It can function as a standalone system or integrate with PLC/PC systems.
Key Features:
  • Display and Interface: Integral readout with a color LCD display and sealed membrane keypad. It provides both analog and digital readings, with digital precision up to four decimal places for millimeters and five for inches.
  • Measurement Capabilities: Offers selectable computation modes, including thickness and thickness to reference, with the ability to track peak values and set tolerance limits via the keypad.
  • Functionality: The system features high-speed internal sampling and digital thickness computation, reducing errors associated with analog methods. It can detect out-of-range conditions within 0.00025 seconds.
  • Laser Technology: Utilizes visible laser spots for easy alignment, auto gain circuitry for optimal laser power adjustment, and digital output options (RS-485 or USB).
  • Compatibility: Supports Modbus interface over RS485 or USB, with programmable discrete I/O and multiple formula options.
Specifications:
  • Laser Specifications: Class 3R laser with a power of <5mW and a wavelength of 670nm. Frequency response up to 4kHz.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operating temperature range from 0°C to 40°C, storage from -20°C to 70°C, and humidity range from 10% to 95% non-condensing.
  • Power Requirements: SELV 18 to 32VDC, nominal 24VDC, with a maximum power draw of 5.0W.
Applications: Suitable for measuring various materials such as metallic, wood, ceramic, steel, or plastic.
Product Dimensions: Detailed dimensions provided for the TGS system and its components.
Technology Principle: Explains the laser triangulation technology, which involves a laser beam projected onto a target and reflected onto a detector to measure distance without contact.
Optional Accessories: Lists available accessories, including replacement modules, brackets, power supplies, and cables.

Laser Thickness Gauge System-3

Laser Triangulation Technology Principle Position LED Laser triangulation sensors contain a solid-state laser light source and a CMOS detector. A laser beam is projected on the target being measured and a portion of the beam is reflected through focusing optics onto a detector. As the target moves, the laser beam proportionally moves on the detector. The signal from the detector is used to determine the relative distance to the target. Laser displacement sensors are non contact by design. Because of this, the object being measured will not be distorted or damaged and target motions will not be...
