Measurements and dimensional control are key parts of plastic and rubber production, and can affect the performance and quality of finished products. Fortunately, there are numerous advanced tools and techniques to ensure measurement accuracy and consistency.
One of these tools is the LASER distance meter. This device allows you to measure the distance between two points without physical contact, using LASER rays. This makes the measurement process more efficient and precise, since there is no distortion or physical interference. LASER distance meters are ideal for quality control in industrial production environments.
LASER sensors are another form of advanced technology for non-contact measurements. They behave like distance meters, but not only measure the distance between two objects, but also other parameters such as shape, position, thickness or surface roughness. This makes LASER sensors extremely useful for verifying the uniformity of measurements and detecting defects.
Archimeters are tools used to measure the dimensions and geometry of objects, including length, width, diameter, bend angle, and curvature. In the production of plastic and rubber, archmeters are used for measuring radii and for verifying the precision of bends in bending machines. They are especially useful when dealing with flexible and soft materials.
For visual inspection applications, vision systems are used. These systems use cameras and image processing software to examine objects accurately and efficiently, checking their shape, size, location and the presence of any defects. They are particularly useful in controlling surface quality, where small imperfections would not be detectable to the naked eye.
LED illuminators are a form of advanced lighting used to improve the visibility of objects during the inspection process. Compared to traditional lamps, LED illuminators have numerous advantages, such as low energy consumption, long life and the ability to adjust the color temperature to adapt to different lighting conditions.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in plastic and rubber manufacturing to improve the quality of measurements and inspections. AI systems can automatically detect any defects or variations in measurements during the production process, alerting staff in a timely manner to avoid waste and increase efficiency.
For some applications in plastic and rubber production, it is necessary to control the speed and rotation of the machines. In these cases, industrial stroboscopes are extremely useful, as they create an image freezing effect that allows movements to be viewed clearly and precisely.
Finally, torque transducers are instruments used for torque control. They are used to check for any anomalies in the rotation of an object, and to ensure that the torque is uniform across the entire surface. Torque transducers are particularly useful in the production of airtight products such as caps, to ensure that the closure is properly tightened.
In conclusion, advanced technologies for measurement and dimensional control are essential in the plastic and rubber production sector. Thanks to recent advances in technology, manufacturers can use increasingly precise and efficient measuring instruments.
