Reliable measurement of flexible hoses on conveyor belts – 3D length measurement for precise production control

The image shows a profile sensor pointed at a hose above a conveyor belt and the 3D point cloud of the hose.

Measuring the exact length of flexible hoses on conveyor belts is a challenge for many manufacturing processes – especially for elastic or transparent hoses. With profile sensors and 3D point clouds, the beginning and end of the hoses can be automatically detected, the length precisely calculated and production reliably monitored. In this way, quality assurance in production is implemented quickly, easily and reliably.
