Measurement Technology

Unlike traditional laser diameter gauges, which use a mechanically scanned laser beam, the
InteliSENS® DGK-i4 diameter gauge uses an entirely solid-state technique. A LED light source is used to generate a broad collimated light beam that fully illuminates the measurement zone. The shadow generated by an object inserted into this light beam is imaged by a CCD, and the resulting electrical signal is digitally processed to measure diameter. This solid-state approach results in the following advantages over traditional laser diameter gauges:
• Higher measurement speeds (not limited by mechanical scan time).
• Higher reliability and MTBF of the gauge as it suffers no wear from moving parts.
• No laser precautions are required as a non-laser light source is used.

Gauge Head Add on Hardware
3 analogue (±10V) outputs can be set to X, Y, Z axis output for 2 and 3 axis gauges. Average diameter, diameter error, ovality and ovality error.
Feedback Control monitors the actual measured diameter compared to a Preset Value and provides a Control Output Signal that can be used to trim the motor output and maintain the product diameter within the Preset Value.
Gauge Head Add on Software
The DGK10k scanning option upgrades the standard gauge to a Super High scan rate, Ideal when used with SMFD Single Measurement Flaw Detection. Each scan takes just 1ms to obtain and output a new diameter reading.
Maximum, Minimum, Mean, Standard Deviation, Cp, Cpk is collected during a selectable time or length period. The results are updated on the SiDi CDi4 Universal Display, PCIS Software and can be transmitted digitally.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) enhances the Feedback Control option. Statistical Process Control, “measures” Process Capability and automatically adjusts the control set point to maximize material savings while maintaining control within upper and lower limits
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analyzes the diameter data for periodicity. Providing Amplitude verses Frequency data and a graphical representation on the SiDi CDi4 Universal Display Unit or PCIS Software.
Single Measurement Flaw Detection (SMFD) analyzes each individual measurement and compares it with the running average. If a Single Measurement is greater than the running average and above or below a threshold value a Flaw is Detected.
