Thickness Measurement System. RF160.20 Series

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. To obtain stable results, wait about 20 minutes after sensor activation to achieve uniform sensor warm-up. The system has been developed for use in industry and meets the requirements of the following Directives: · EU directive 2014/30/EU. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). · EU directive 2011/65/EU,...

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). The figure below shows the sheet material (1) being measured and the conveyor section (5). The control computer is not shown. Figure 1. Structure and overall dimensions of the system In the main mode, the...

Thickness Measurement System. RF160.20 Series 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. Overall and mounting dimensions of the control cabinet and panel computer are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Control cabinet and panel computer

Thickness Measurement System. RF160.20 Series Parameter Averaging time Number of chart points Reference value Description The time for which the measurement results will be output/saved (for example, every 0.1 s). The number of measured points displayed on the graph. The reference value used when calibrating the system. Filtering is used to reduce noise and achieve better resolution. Description of the parameters is given in the table below: Parameter Filter type No filtering Moving Average Number of filtration points Description Without filtering. The number of filter points for the...

Thickness Measurement System. RF160.20 Series An example of adding the measurement scheme with two control points. In the system, the control point means the following: the entire width of the sheet is divided into equal zones, the thickness of the material at the control point is defined as the average thickness over the entire zone. After clicking the Add button, the data entry window for the new scheme appears on the screen: 1. Type the name of the scheme in the Scheme field. 2. Select the measurement mode (Continuous/By Point). (Number of control points). In By point mode, the motion...
