MEASUREMENT SENSOR

Automotive

FLUSH AND GAP

The human eye is very good at detecting misalignment between automotive bodies and doors, and variations in the gaps between the panels. Fortunately for vehicle manufacturers, SmartRay 3D is even better at inspecting the flush and gap of complex body panels.

ALIGNMENT

To minimise break wear, the alignment and position of the break pads relative to the disk is critical. SmartRay 3D helps ensure that every brake pad is accurately assembled and correctly aligned in 3 dimensions, relative to the brake cylinder and disk.

COPLANARITY AND ANGLE

Vehicle instrument panels are complex and detailed assemblies that must perform reliably and have a outstanding appearance. SmartRay 3D sensors check that instrument needles remain at the same height and parallel to the dial surfaces at all angles of operation.

ROTARY SWITCH

The touch and feel of rotary switches in premium vehicles is important for the perception of quality. SmartRay 3D sensors inspect any excentricity in rotary switches as they are rotated during testing and checks that height of the switch relative to the dashboard moulding.

Electronics

CONNECTOR

With multi-pin connectors, it is essential that all pins are completely aligned and accurately spaced so that they can be automatically inserted into any PCB. SmartRay 3D checks pin position, height and spacing, and also identifies broken, bent or missing pins.

PCB BOARD

PCBs with excessive variation in their surface height indicate that a problem has occurred at some stage in the manufacturing process. SmartRay 3D accurately measures the height of the entire PCB to indentify any unexpected variations in the surface profile.

LCD DISPLAY

Any distortion in the surface of an LCD display is immediately visible to the viewer. With a SmartRay 3D sensors scanning across the front glass panel of the LCD display, small local variations and larger distortions across the panel can be measured and quantified.

SMART PHONE

Smart phones are made to such exacting standards that automatic inspection of every stage of the manufacturing process is critical. SmartRay sensors measure critical gaps and the 3D alignment of key components at each step of the phone assembly process.

Industrial

GEAR WHEEL

Precision gear wheels used in high performance gearboxes have to be manufactured to ver tight tolerances to ensure they operate smoothly and reliably. SmartRay 3D sensors provide the ideal solution for measuring the height and shape of complex gear teeth profiles.

PIPE

Stainless steel pipes used in high flow-rate process industries must be manufactured with a controlled level of straightness to avoid unnecessary flow turbulence when in use. SmartRay 3D measures the straightness of long lengths of pipe in all dimensions simultanously.

EXTRUSION

There are many factors that effect the dimensional stability of aluminium extrusions as they are being produced. SmartRay 3D measures key dimensions of the extrusion profile as it is being manufactured, to provide real-time feedback to the extrustion machine.

PLASTIC MOULDING

Checking that a metal moulding conforms to the original CAD data for the part, can be a challenging process to carry out during manufacturing. SmartRay 3D carries out a complete form and dimensional analysis of each part during the manufacturing process.

Consumer

SYRINGE NEEDLE

To satisfy the world market for medical treatments, syringe needles are manufactured at high speed in very large volumes. To ensure that each and every needle tip is sharp and correctly formed SmartRay 3D sensors measure their shape and dimensions on the production line.

RAZOR

Multi-blade razor cartidges have become complex assemblies that have to be very accurately assembled to ensure the best possible shaving experience. SmartRay 3D checks the height, spacing and angle of all the blades in each cartridge to ensure total product consistency.

PHARMA TABLET

Checking the size and shape of individual pharmaceutical tablets is important to ensure the correct dosage is given to patients every time. SmartRay 3D measures the volume of tablets and detects any surface damage or cracking that may have occurred.

DISH WASHER

Modern white good brands are differenting themselves with curved shapes instead of the traditional white boxes. Inspecting logos created by laser engraving on curved surfaces is impossible with 2D vision systems. SmartRay 3D sensors check the engraving shape and depth.
