Inline Height Control of Cookies with 2D/3D Profile Sensors

Before the packaging process, the height of cookies must be recorded. The measurement enables the filling of the packaging to be optimized. If the cookie height tends to go up or down, adjustments must be made. For measurement, two 2D/3D profile sensors are installed in the V4A stainless steel housing, which detect all objects over the entire web width using lasers (one red and one blue) with no mutual influence. This means that up to 150 cookies per minute can be measured inline and evaluated by software – with an accuracy of a few tenths of a millimeter.
