2D Shape

For Individuals Looking at 2D Shape Measurement Systems

When looking for the best way to perform profile measurements, there are a number of important factors to consider, including the type of measurement system and the installation environment. Selecting equipment that doesn't adequately meet your needs can lead to insufficient precision and increased man-hours during production. This site is designed to help users determine the best way to perform measurements with confidence in regards to a 2D shape measurement system.

How to Measure 2D Shapes

Find the best measurement method and the right equipment to measure "2D Shapes".

Measurement of shapes using 1D laser displacement sensors

Example Application: Profile measurement of aluminum fins

Optimal measurement system

Optimal measurement systemEliminate Triangulation Laser Displacement Sensor

Shapes are measured by moving the target or sensor head to accumulate height data.

KEY POINTS
  • Shapes can be measured at a higher precision with 1D laser displacement sensors than with 2D laser displacement sensors.
  • A mechanism for moving the sensor head and/or target is required.
  • Vibrations from when the sensor head or target is moved causes measurement errors.
  • Multi-color confocal method
    Linearrity:From ±0.2μm

Measurement of shapes using a 2D laser displacement sensor

Example Application: Profile measurement of tire tread grooves

Optimal measurement system

Optimal measurement system2D Triangulation Laser Displacement Sensor

The cross-sectional shape of locations where the laser hits can be obtained. High-speed sampling makes it possible to achieve stable detection even if the workpiece moves.

KEY POINTS
  • Shapes can be measured without moving the sensor head and target.
  • The shape of large targets can be measured by installing multiple sensor heads.
  • 2D Triangulation Method.
    In-line Multi-point measurement.
    World's Fastest sampling rate at 64,000 images/sec.
