Height measurement of axle journals – How can castings be measured reliably and precisely?

Close-up of a car axle

Uneven castings are often a challenge when measuring the height of axle journals, as point-based sensors can lead to measurement deviations on rough surfaces. The article shows how a 2D/3D profile sensor with line measurement and integrated evaluation captures the entire surface and thus transmits a stable, highly accurate height measurement directly to the controller.

Instant noodle measurement before the packaging process

Overlong instant noodles can lead to damaged packaging and increased waste during the packaging process. The article shows how industrial image processing and uniVision software can be used to reliably measure the length of the noodles before packaging – for stable processes, reduced downtime and consistently high product quality.
