The optoCONTROL 2700 is a compact high-performance LED micrometer characterized by exceptional precision, high measuring rate and easy handling. Two models with measuring ranges of 10 and 40 mm cover a wide range of applications in automation and quality assurance. The active tilt correction enables precise detection of objects, even if they are tilted by up to 45°.

Configuration is carried out via an intuitive web interface, which enables the setting of video signals, filters and various measurement modes. In set-up mode, a shadow image supports the precise alignment of the measurement object. The system is insensitive to ambient light and is also suitable for difficult environmental conditions and for measuring transparent or reflective objects. Furthermore, the large measuring distance enables flexible integration into various applications.

Roll gap measurement during calendering

The high-precision LED micrometer is used in quality assurance and machine monitoring. An important measuring task here is checking the roll gap in calendering systems. The nip size is a key factor in controlling and monitoring the production of strip and sheet products. The optoCONTROL 2700 enables the exact measurement of very small gaps of less than 50 µm during the rolling process and thus ensures high-precision gap control in real time.

Due to the angle measurement, the position of the rollers in relation to each other is recorded with absolute precision. This technology ensures constant material accuracy, even in the material width, and helps to avoid material waste. The micrometer is an efficient solution for optimizing rolling processes and ensuring consistently high product quality. The high-performance micrometer will soon also be available with a cable outlet for confined installation spaces. Thanks to the integrated controller, cabling and installation work is reduced to a minimum.
