Deformation measurement, vibration, displacement and deformation verification of large structures such as bridges, buildings and dams is an extremely important process to ensure their safety and structural integrity. An essential measuring tool in this process are LASER sensors, also known as LASER distance meters. LASER sensors are non-contact measuring instruments, which allow for extremely precise measurements of dimensional variations in different materials and structures. These sensors are able to detect even the smallest variations, even in the presence of vibrations and movements. LASER distance meters are able to calculate…
Laser distance meters are essential for measuring 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 instruments, operators can carry out measurements with extreme precision and without any physical contact with the material of interest …
The control of the position of trolleys and slides with LASER distance meters is one of the most used techniques in the industrial field for the non-contact measurement of moving objects in automatic warehouses and goods handling systems. In particular, these measuring instruments are very popular in the logistics and transport sector, where reliable positioning of moving parts is essential to ensure the quality of the goods picking and placing process. LASER distance meters are sensors capable of measuring the distance between two points with great precision without the need for physical contact. These …
LASER distance meter technology has been revolutionary for the measuring instruments sector. Thanks to the high-precision laser sensors, these instruments allow you to perform non-contact measurements on large dimensions. LASER sensors can accurately detect the distance between two points, allowing technicians to perform a wide variety of measurements, from simply checking the length, width, position and deformation of an object to creating detailed maps. In particular, LASER distance meters are widely used in the construction industry, on building sites and in the heavy carpentry sector, where it is necessary to perform …

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…
Ultrasonic thickness gauges are a valuable tool for corrosion monitoring and quality control. These are devices that use ultrasound to measure the thickness of materials such as metals, alloys, plastics, and ceramic compounds. They are used in a variety of industrial fields ranging from corrosion analysis, thickness measurement, preventive maintenance, to pipeline analysis and tank thickness control. Ultrasonic thickness gauges allow you to determine structural integrity or structural integrity during structural and protective inspections. They also provide detailed information on the internal condition of the examined material and can identify any problems…

In the railway sector, measurements and dimensional control are essential to ensure the safety of passengers and transported goods. Thanks to technological evolution, today it is possible to use advanced tools such as LASER distance meters and LASER sensors to accurately measure the dimensions of railway elements, such as tracks, curves and switches.
Radius and bending archimeters are used to verify that curves do not exceed tolerance limits and to ensure smooth running of trainsets. Vision systems, supported by artificial intelligence, instead make it possible to check for the presence of any defects or damage on train components.
As far as lighting is concerned, the new LED systems are able to provide a more uniform and constant light, helping to improve the quality of the measurements made. The same goes for industrial stroboscopes, which are used to check whether moving parts in trains meet technical specifications.
In particular, torque transducers are fundamental tools to ensure the correct application of the torsion force on the closing caps of the doors and on the wheel bolts, an integral part of an essential safety system for the railway sector.
In conclusion, the use of advanced instruments for measuring and dimensional control in the railway sector is essential to ensure the safety and correct functioning of means of transport. Technological evolution has made it possible to develop increasingly precise and efficient solutions, thus improving the quality of maintenance and control operations.
