CCD Laser Micrometer from Keyence

Keyence Corp. of America

The IG Series laser micrometer from Keyence Corp. of America, Woodcliff Lake, NJ, can be used for edge guiding of opaque, transparent or translucent materials; position control; outer diameter measurement; and gap control. The device uses a high-precision L-CCD to determine the edge positions of any target placed within the sensor's beam and its error extraction algorithms and I-DSP let it operate stably in environments in which conventional devices would fail. Features include built-in, application-specific operating modes; a small footprint; and easy optical-axis alignment with its visible beam and LED bar monitor position display built into the sensor head.
