Laser distance meters are essential for measurement of the lengths of products made of bars, tubes or beams in compliance with the strict quality control standards required by Industry 4.0.
LASER technology not only guarantees the absence of physical contact between the sensor and the material but also guarantees a high measurement speed. This feature makes the LASER distance meter suitable for measuring moving objects with the possibility of making the "flying cut" of the material.
Thanks to the use of these sophisticated tools, operators can take measurements with extreme precision and without any physical contact with the material of interest.
Laser distance meters, in fact, exploit the laser technology to carry out the measurements, without any interference with the surface of the product.
Some of the benefits of this methodology are the ability to perform fast and very accurate measurements, especially in places that are difficult to access or on the most hidden parts of the products to be checked.
The connection with a PLC or a PC allows the creation of automatic systems for controlling the cutting length of bars, beams, panels or pipes.
Thanks to the possibility of carrying out measurements remotely, laser distance meters save time and reduce overall production costs, providing operators with a wide range of tools with which to carry out their daily activities in the field of quality controls.
The integration of LASER distance meters with the management information system also allows product traceability and real-time analysis of the plant's production capacity.
