Roll Diameter
Challenge
• Accurately measure roll diameter of variousmaterials
• Large parent rolls of material
• Easy to setup without need to presentfull/empty roll
Featured Solution
LTF
Other Solutions
LE550
Key Features
• Repeatable sensing regardless of texture,color, or angle of target
• 12 m and 24 m ranges available
• Two-line, eight-character display with pushbutton input
Key Benefits
• Accurate measurement reduces waste lefton the core
• Long ranges for large rolls and easy alignmentwith visible laser spot
• Pushbutton interface allows for easy setup,adjustment, and troubleshooting
Shiny Product Detection
Challenge
• Reflective, irregular shaped objects cancause erratic and inconsistent readings
• No gap between products as they comedown the conveyor
• PLCs with slow scan times may not keep upwith high speed lines
Featured Solution
Q4X
Other Solutions
LTF
Key Features
• High excess gain and dynamically adjustedlaser power
• Built-in Foreground Suppression Mode
• On-delay and off-delay logic built into sensor
Key Benefits
• Excess gain and dynamic laser power allowsthe sensor to reliably measure shiny objects atsteep angles
• Foreground Suppression Mode allows asensing window to be set on the apex of thecontainer as it passes by
• Built-in on and off-delays can extend outputtime
Material Thickness—Diaper
Challenge
• Control thickness of absorbent material
• Porous or uneven material causes erraticreading
• Quickly change measurement range forproduct changeover
