Non-contact speed and length measurement of plasterboards

The fast production processes of plasterboard require a reliable speed and length measurement to ensure adherence to the standard dimensions of the plasterboard. SPEETEC solves this task reliably without any contact with the product.
SICK SPEETEC - a unique laser surface motion sensor that detects the movements of object surfaces without contact. SPEETEC can measure the speed, length, movement direction, and position of objects on almost any surface.

Usage

- Suitable for solutions with soft, fragile or sensitive surfaces, where direct contact measurements can cause damage to the surface. - Suitable for fast and dynamic processes that are unsuitable for regular rotary encoders.

Advantages

- The SPEETEC measures without wear and delivers reliable and exact values after many thousands of hours of use.
- The non-contact sensor prevents damage to particularly sensitive materials and surfaces, such as thin, soft surfaces.

Specification

- Very high measurement accuracy and repeatability with a resolution of up to 4µm;
- Standard TTL or HTL interface;
- Nominal measuring distance: 50 mm ± 5 mm (static tolerance);
- Speed: up to 10 m/s.
