Measurement of the diameter of coils and coils with winding control

Measuring the diameter of spools and coils is a fundamental process in many industrial sectors. For this reason, measuring instruments are essential to ensure the quality of the final product. The measurement of the diameter can be carried out with mechanical instruments such as calipers, micrometers or contact feelers but it is also possible to use measuring instruments that allow non-contact measurement. These instruments include triangulation LASER sensors and LASER distance meters. The triangulation LASER sensors are able to measure the diameter with a very high precision, thanks to their ability to detect even …

Thickness measurement with fork feeler gauges for production lines

Thickness measurement is one of the main activities in manufacturing processes in industry and laboratory. The choice of the appropriate equipment is essential to ensure the precision required in the production process. An effective way to accurately measure thickness is to use contact-friendly thickness gauges, also known as digital contact gauges or contact micrometers. Contact thickness gauges are precise measuring instruments with a range of 0 to 300 millimeters (12″). They are equipped with touch probe systems that allow accurate and efficient thickness measurement. Furthermore, …

astech velocimeters for non-contact speed and length measurement

Speed and length measurement without contact with optical instruments

Optical velocimeters are a vital tool for measuring speed and length on the production line. They are non-invasive devices that can accurately measure speed and distance in a short time. These instruments use optics, light sources and sophisticated electronics to measure speed accurately, without physical contact with the material being measured. They are mainly used in the process industry, but also have applications in other industries such as aerospace, electronics and medical products. An optical velocimeter can be used to measure both speed and length of the production line…

Deepening

The footwear sector requires high performance in terms of measurement and quality control, placing efficiency in manufacturing processes at the center of production. To achieve this goal, several technological tools are used, including LASER distance meters, LASER sensors, archimeters for measuring radii and bending curves, vision systems, LED illuminators, artificial intelligence, industrial stroboscopes and torque meters for torque control.

LASER distance meters allow precise measurement of the dimensions of the prototype objects or of the structure of the shoe, without contact, through a series of micro-pulses emitted and read by the device. This technology eliminates any temperature variations, minimizing the possibility of error.

LASER sensors, on the other hand, detect the deformations of the shoes during production, in order to avoid any post-manufacturing deformations. They are particularly suitable for the modeling of new products to be made, ensuring a constant and uninterrupted production flow.

Archimeters for measuring radii and curves, available in different sizes, are able to accurately measure the length of the shoe profile, both from the inside and outside, providing important data for creating the correct model and correct management of the moulds.

The vision systems are instead able to perform a series of tests on the structure, detecting any anomalies in the finish of the shoes, deviations from the correct shape and possible internal defects, thus helping in the creation of a high quality finished product.

LED illuminators represent an innovative solution for decreasing energy consumption, compared to traditional lamps, and, at the same time, improve the quality of visual inspection results. They allow you to examine the structure to check for any inconsistencies in fabrics, colors and textures.

Artificial intelligence and industrial stroboscopes, on the other hand, are suitable for monitoring production in real time, providing important information on processing times, the presence of any blocks in the production process and other information relating to quality control.

Finally, torque control torque meters are used to check the pressure exerted by the machine on the shoes, guaranteeing product quality and operator safety. Furthermore, they allow to measure the torque applied to the suppliers, improving the processing of shoes from numerous materials.

In summary, an advanced technological approach, combined with careful quality management, through precise measurement and accurate control of dimensions, allows companies in the footwear sector to produce high quality footwear, meet market needs and improve competitiveness global.
