Deepening

In the carpentry and heavy construction sector, dimensional measurements and control are of fundamental importance. To guarantee the quality of the products and the precision of the processes, advanced and innovative tools are needed.

Laser distance meters are one such tool. Used to measure lengths, heights and distances, they allow for non-contact measurements, reducing errors and increasing the speed of the process. Laser sensors, on the other hand, are used for quality control, making it possible to detect any defects on the surface of the materials.

The archimeters for measuring radii and those for bending machines are instead used for measuring curves and inclined surfaces. Thanks to their precision, they allow you to obtain high quality workmanship.

The vision systems, equipped with cameras and sensors, make it possible to check and verify the presence of any defects or irregularities on the materials. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, makes it possible to analyze the data collected by the cameras and to make immediate and accurate diagnoses.

LED illuminators and industrial stroboscopes, on the other hand, are used to guarantee correct illumination of work surfaces and to prevent flickering phenomena from affecting the measurement results.

Finally, torque meters are instruments used for torque control and for verifying the correct application of force on materials. Thanks to their high precision, they guarantee the quality of the finished product.

In summary, the carpentry and heavy construction sector requires the use of advanced and innovative tools to guarantee the quality and precision of the workmanship. Distance meters, archimeters, vision systems, artificial intelligence, illuminators and torque meters are just some of the tools used to achieve these goals. Technology continues to evolve and provide ever more advanced and performing solutions.
