Gaps in Parquet Flooring

Dear manufacturers of vinyl flooring, don't worry, we will find the gap!

Sensor Instruments: From the range of RED series edge detectors the RED-50-L and RED-110-L sensors are especially suited for detecting gaps, i.e. in this application the distance of two parquet panels. These edge detectors reliably detect gaps starting from a depth and width of approx. 0.05mm.

With the supplied software the laser edge detector can be adapted to different surfaces: From dark to bright, and from matt to glossy. With a maximum scan frequency of typ. 85kHz the sensor also is excellently suited for high-speed object handling. The digital output of the sensor provides an alternating signal (digital, 0V/+24V) when an edge is detected. The sensor also provides an analog signal (0V … +10V or 4mA … 20mA) that can be used to determine the quality of the gap. The sensor's scope of delivery also includes a comprehensive monitoring and parameterisation software for optimally setting the laser sensor from a PC. During normal operation this PC connection is not necessary.
