Laser Micrometersfor very high accuracy diameter measurement

The Sensor SoftwareThe XLS sensors are equipped with a pre-loaded software to perform different types of measurements and in several modes, to meet a number of applications. In general the instrument performs just as an Intelligent Sensor, transmitting the measured data to an external device, through its serial ports. The tolerance checking or other more sophisticated features are not included, these are performed by the user’s device or by the available Aeroel Dedicated Systems.

Types of measures

Measuring transparent objectsUsing the measuring modes 1-DIA and 1-EDG and enabling the Glass-Logic, it is possible to check also transparent parts. In all other modes the parts being measured must be opaque.

Single face scanningIt is possible to use 1 mirror face only, to cancel the side dither of the scanning plane: when this option is selected, the scanning rate is reduced to 50 Hz or 75 Hz.

Measurement processingInstant values: simple average over n scans, being n ≥ 1 programmable

Extreme values: Average, Max, Min over k Instant Values, being k ≥ 1 programmable

Note: not all the measuring modes included in the standard software are enabled in other types of software, designed for specific applications. Check the detailed specifications of any application software.

Mode 1-DIA Diameter measurement (D) and Centre position (C) of 1 opaque or transparent piece in the field.

Mode 1-EDGMeasurement of top (T) and bottom (B) edge of 1 opaque or transparent piece in the field.

Mode 2-DIADiameter measurement (D) and Centre position (C) of 2 opaque pieces in the field

Mode 2-GAPDiameter measurement (D) and distance (GAP) of 2 opaque pieces in the field.

Mode 2-EDG Measurement of top (T) and bottom (B) edge of 2 opaque pieces in the field.

Mode PENGAPMeasurement of the penetration gap of 1 opaque piece in the field

Mode GAPMeasurement of the gap between 2 opaque pieces in the field

Mode PERGAPMeasurement of the penetration gap in relation to a reference pin of 1 opaque piece in the field

Measurement modeFree-Running: it processes continuously groups of k instant values to compute the related Extreme Values.

On-Command, Single-Shot: after an external command, it processes only 1 group of k instant values to compute the related Extreme Values. The external command is a rising edge on a digital input or a command message via Ethernet/RS232.

On-Command, Continuous: during a time interval set by an external command, it processes all the measured Instant Values, to compute their Extreme values. The measuring time is set by a logic high level on a digital input and/or by Start/Stop messages via Ethernet/RS232.

Auto-Sync: like On-Command, Single-Shot, but the measurement is automatically triggered by a valid measurement condition (1 part in the measuring field).

Input/Output and Interfacing

• 2 optocoupled digital inputs, 10 – 30 Vdc, (5 - 15 mA). The standard software is using just one input, to Start/Stop the measurement.

• Rs232, max 115.2 Kbaud, Master or Slave, for sensor programming, data transmission and commands (Aeoel protocol)

• Rs485, max115.2 Kbaud, used in Master mode to drive Aeroel Units (i.e. Display Module) or in Slave mode to network the sensor (Aeroel protocol)

• Ethernet 10 Base-T, TCP/IP protocol for for sensor programming, data transmission, commands and networking

• ALS Binary Video Signal, to connect the sensor to CE-10 or IBU-10 Aeroel Electronic Units. When the sensor is used in ALS mode, the specifications are changed as in the enclosed tables.

Compatibility with ILS sensors

The RS232 and RS485 ports can be used to emulate the Aeroel ILS Sensor. Although the compatibility is assured for most of the functions, we recommend to consult Aeroel to check the compatibility level for the specific application.

Programming and set-up

The sensor Set-up and programming are possible through the RS232, RS485 or Ethernet ports, using the Aeroel protocol and dedicated commands. To allow a quick use of the sensor, without writing specific communication softwares, it is possible to use the RS232 port in VT100 terminal mode, which makes it possible the connection of the sensor to a PC using the Windows Hyperterminal program. In alternative it is also possible to use a VT100 hand-held terminal. In addition, connecting an optional DM-100 display module and its IR Remote Control, the user can display the measurement data and program the sensor. The pre-loaded software can be updated/replaced through the Ethernet port, by using a PC and an utility software supplied by Aeroel.

The Blistbuster software to detect recurrent surface flaws

The XY sensor software includes the Blistbuster feature that can be very useful to check the diameter smoothness of a continuous product (for instance magnet wire) and to detect a very special type of recurrent flaws, commonly called “Blisters”.

Processing a rather high number of single-scan measurements along the product, it is possible to determine that some of these have been taken just over a local flaw, as the result of such a scan is very different form the average wire diameter and much higher than the single scan repeatability of the gauge itself. An exclusive processing algorithm computes some parameters which are very useful to depict the non-uniformity of the product surface.

As the processing algorithm is based on statistical assumptions, a quite long section of wire must be checked, including a rather high number of flaws. It is impossible to detect any single flaw or to measure its real dimensions, unless the flaw length be longer than the scanning pitch. (*)

(*) The scanning pitch is computed dividing the product speed by the gauge scanning frequency
