LASER TRIANGULATION
Ultra-compact laser sensor has fast sampling rate
0.95mW for measurement ranges up to 500mm and linearity to 0.05% of range. Easily adapted for measurement of thickness, dimension/displacement, form and profile as well as object sorting, laser triangulation sensors in the RF602 series are aimed at applications where restricted space or minimal weight are important machine design requirements. The series includes six sensor models with measurement ranges from 10 to 500mm and base distances from 20 to 105mm. Full range resolution is 0.01% (0.02% for 105/500 version) and temperature drift is 0.02% of the range per °C. These laser safety class 2 sensors have a maximum sampling rate

iftek has released a software app that utilises its RF625
series 2D laser scanners for automated seam tracking and measurement with welding robots. The RF625 series 2D
laser scanners include 22 models for high precision non-contact measurements of profile or dimensions for working lengths from 5 to 1400mm with highly precise linearity and high sampling rates. A choice of red, blue and IR diode wavelengths suit a wide range of materials/environments. Furthermore, the scanners may be used separately for product recognition or general control. An IP67

matchbox-sized 2D laser triangulation sensor from Riftek combines a choice of red or blue laser sources with a power output of
service software platform. A wide range of configuration parameters allow flexible parameter set-up and digital measurement reading via RS232 for single sensors or RS485 for multiple sensors. Measured data output can also be read through 4…20 mA and 0…10 VDC outputs. The sensor is housed in a robust IP67

of 9.4kHz that suits high speed/high throughput measurement. A red laser source is available for general use or an optional blue UV wavelength version is offered for applications where high temperature objects or organic materials are measured. The new RF602 joins a family of laser sensors that share a common PC-based
sealed aluminium housing and toughened glass faced optics guarantees durability, whilst vibration, shock and temperature ratings meet the demands of heavy industrial use. Lamia software is
intended for recognising,
rated anodised aluminium housing with a high strength glass window for maximum durability. With a -10 to +60°C operational temperature range and vibration and shock ratings that will suit moving machinery applications, the RF602 is well suited to heavy industrial use but can be equally practical for less severe environmental conditions. Cable connection with flying leads is standard and the diminutive 30.5 x 45 x 17mm housing includes front fixing holes for straightforward mounting. EE
AUTOMATED SOFTWARE FOR ROBOTIC WELD SEAM TRACKING AND MEASUREMENT
tracking and measuring geometric parameters of objects such as weld seams in accordance with a selected maths algorithm which is derived from a template. The PC-based software interfaces to the client robot controller to transmit results and includes data visualisation and the setting and control of the RF625 laser scanner´s parameters. The software was
developed with the support of a main strategic partner for Kawasaki and Fanuc robots and various industrial robot communication protocols are included for fast and convenient set-up. Two sets of ready-to-use maths
Vol 1 No. 1
algorithms for “Welding” and “Measurement” are included that cover recognition, tracking and measurement of geometric parameters of objects in real-time. Automatic recognition of the objects through the RF625 laser scanner in accordance with the selected template is automatic with no need for to measure manually. The Lamia software includes calibration of the laser scanner in-situ with the selected robot arm.
