Construction industry, building materials

This area means less the construction industry directly but rather the suppliers of the construction companies and also manufacturers of building materials. Modern buildings have high requirements which can only be achieved by means of high quality building materials. Therefore, the quality must be already measured during the production of building materials using distance and position sensors. The measuring technology of Micro-Epsilon has already proven itself many times for this use.

Plaster hardening - temperature measurement

Stationary Micro-Epsilon temperature sensors are used for optimization of the additives during plaster hardening. Due to the constant temperature monitoring of the hardening reaction, defects can be detected immediately ...

details

On-line inspection of the dimensions of sand-lime bricks

After pressing the sand-lime brick blanks are placed onto a hardening carriage. Even smallest changes in the mixture, moisture, or in the pressing force lead to undefined growth of the bricks and make it difficult to observe ...

Exact crusher gap adjustment in rotary crushers

Rotary crushers for quarries or ore mines can grind up to 3500 t of material to the desired grain size in one hour. For this purpose an eccentric bearing bush generates a rotary-oscillating movement of the crusher axle, thereby ...

Glued wood - temperature measurement

After drying and sorting the wood laminates, they are cut to the required length, glued, stacked and pressed afterwards. They are heated using microwaves for the glue drying and the individual glue layers are measured with a very ...

details

Thickness measurement using displacement sensors

Thickness measurement using displacement sensors is a wide application area. Basically there are distinctions between non-destructive/destructive, non-contact/with contact and one-side/two-sided thickness measurement. The Micro-Epsilon ...

Filling level

A filling level measurement situation can arise with a liquid substance as well as with dry, bulky goods. The precise measurement of liquid levels is difficult to achieve, nevertheless, the confocal measuring technique is a suitable solution ...

details

Dimensional accuracy of sectional doors

With sectional doors for parquet or laminate flooring, key and slot joints for individual sections are applied. However, these sections are opened and closed frequently. To enable a robust but permanent flexible key and slot joint, specified ...

details

Measurement of pre-stressed steel

An inspection system for incoming goods inspection has been developed for a manufacturer of pre-stressed concrete, which detects the profile depth of delivered batches and continuously records this information to a database.

details

Non-contact roller measuring device

In the cement and mineral industry roller mills are used for fine grinding of the raw materials. During the milling process the rollers are subject to high wear, which strongly reduces the quality of milling at the edges of the rollers. With a ...

details

Flatness inspection on ceramic wall tiles

In the production of ceramic wall tiles or similar products, a one hundred percent quality inspection is essential. Three laser triangulation displacement sensors measure the deflection of tiles with an accuracy of 0.1 μm. Separate specification ...
