Width Measurement of Parquet Floorboards in the Wood Industry Through Laser Distance Sensor Triangulation
Boards must be milled to the correct width when making parquet floors. The wood surfaces vary from light to dark and from shiny to matt. The nominal width must be maintained so that the boards can be laid cleanly. Two opposing laser distance sensors for triangulation measure the exact width without an analysis module or control unit – thanks to the integrated width measurement function. The measured value is transmitted via the analog output or via IO-Link. This allows deviations to be detected quickly and faulty boards to be ejected.
