The LM SMART measures lengths without contact and with an extraordinary accuracy of 0.05 %. According to company, compared to conventional contact-based solutions, there is no slippage or wear. Once the device has been set up, no calibration or re-parameterization is required. The LM SMART measures accurately and reliably over time.
Length measuring devices are used to ensure that the required product length is accurate. Short or excess length leads to yield losses. If the production length is reduced by just 0.1 %, the LM SMART length measuring device pays for itself in just a few months.
The LM SMART is based on the market-proven laser doppler measuring method and therefore functions largely independent of the color, surface quality and diameter of the product. Two laser beams are used to direct light onto the passing product surface. The beams overlap and create a stripe pattern on the object, from which the speed and thus the product length traveled over time is precisely determined.
