Measurements 1. Step - difference in
y distance between the surfaces of the two joined parts, shown as
"Step" in the data table.
2.
Runout - angle difference between the surfaces of the two joined parts,
shown as "Runout" in the data table.
Industry Examples 1. Manufacturing
- post-process inspection of piston style inflators.
2. Pressure Vessels - pre-weld
fit-up inspection.
3. Factory -monitoring of
in-process part alignment.
Sensors
and Controllers Sensor selection will be
dependent on the size of the part and the field-of-view required to capture
both sides of the joined part. Any of the sensors and controllers
could be used for the application. Normally this type of measurement
is made with an on-line system utilizing the Series 3000 controller with
a RS400 sensor.
