Carbon belts are cut into different widths in cutting machines. Exact measurement of each individual strip is necessary. 24 precision micrometers of the optoCONTROL 2520 series solve this measuring task with high linearity and a reproducibility of up to 5 µm.

One micrometer can measure several segments or strips simultaneously, record the results synchronously and then output them. Several sensors of the optoCONTROL 2520 series can be operated synchronously with each other. In strip applications and cutting machines, this allows segment measurements of several strips. In addition to the strip width, the simultaneous acquisition of further measured values such as the center position of the strips is possible. Often, smaller strips must also be measured within a few millimeters. For this purpose, the multi-segment mode of the ODC2520 optical micrometer records up to eight individual tapes within 46 mm or 95 mm without changing the measuring program.

Data output is fast and easy via analog and digital interfaces. The laser micrometers have integrated, modern interfaces such as Ethernet or EtherCAT as well as fieldbus extensions. The optoCONTROL micrometers are used for quality inspection in inline applications as well as in mechanical engineering. Hose and extrusion products such as bar stock or plastic tubes are also detected with high precision using laser micrometers.
