Glass Panel Position Measurement using Laser Distance Sensors

In the area of the facility where glass panels are staged, a servodriven actuator system identifies and tracks the leading edge of the glass as it moves along the facility’s conveyor line. After the conveyor apparatus picks up the glass, it is unable to compensate for the non-standard  height of the pallets used to transport and
store the glass panels in a horizontal position.

Pilger mill in tube rolling mills - hot and cold pipe detection

  • Easy installation thanks to visible laser beam
  • Easy configuration thanks to the free software
  • Operation in the largest temperature range (-40°C to +60°C) possible
  • Measuring ranges up to 100 m on natural surfaces | Measuring ranges up to 500 m on reflective foil
  • Accuracy ± 1mm | Measurements can be acquired by a PLC or PC | Maintenance-free operation

Task

Leading manufacturers of insulating glass units require a sensor solution that monitors and precisely adjusts glass panel positioning on a production conveyor belt, based on the exact height of non-standard pallets. These pallets are used to transport and store glass panels horizontally.

Solution

  • Dimetix Laser Distance Sensors offer several methods of communicating to
    control systems commonly used in manufacturing and production
    applications.
  • In the area of the facility where glass panels are staged, a servodriven actuator system identifies and tracks the leading edge of the glass as it moves along the facility’s conveyor line. After the conveyor apparatus picks up the glass, it is unable to compensate for the non-standard  height of the pallets used to transport and
    store the glass panels in a horizontal position.
  • Dimetix Laser Distance Sensor measure the height of the pallet and adjust a position to stop the glass panel. After the panel is halted, the machine begins tilting it onto the pallet precisely at the point where there is no chance the glass can slide or be misplaced. It is then gently placed on the pallets next to other glass panels.
