Laser Micrometer Applications for Diameter Control of Extruded products.
The on-line diameter control is regarded today as a necessity to get a satisfactory efficiency in the extrusion process. The Aeroel laser scanners, thanks to a perfect balance between ease of use and comprehensive functions, have proved to be very effective and suitable for extrusion automation.
This technology, that is useful in all cases where the diameter of a product or workpiece needs to be measured quickly and accurately, becomes indispensable when the workpiece cannot be touched and stopped, as in the case of drawn metal wires, electrical cables and conductors, extruded plastic pipes, hot-rolled products, glass tubes and center-less grinded product parts. It is particularly effective and competitive in simpler bench and off-line measurements too.
