2D measurement

2D measurement solutions are the backbone of modern industrial automation, providing high-speed profiling and dimensional control for a vast array of manufacturing processes. Unlike point sensors, a 2D laser scanner captures a complete cross-section of an object, allowing for the simultaneous measurement of height, width, tilt, and complex surface geometry. These systems act as a high-precision 2D measurement system, transforming raw laser data into actionable geometric profiles that ensure every part meets strict engineering tolerances.

Utilizing a laser 2d scanner allows for non-contact inspection, which is critical for measuring hot, moving, or soft materials that would be deformed by traditional tactile probes. Riftek’s 2D laser scanners provide real-time surface analysis at high sampling rates, making them indispensable for high-speed production lines where accuracy and throughput are equally prioritized. By implementing a professional 2D measurement system, manufacturers can achieve total quality control through continuous, high-resolution profile monitoring.

Capturing precise two-dimensional data requires specialized optical equipment tailored to the geometry of the target object. Riftek solves this challenge through two primary technologies. The first involves 2D laser scanners, also known as 2d profile sensors, which project a laser line to measure the contour of a surface. The second utilizes the 2d optical micrometer, which uses a "shadow" principle to track the position and diameter of objects like wires, cables, or tubes in two axes simultaneously.

A modern laser scanner 2d configuration can be used for gap and flush measurement, weld seam tracking, and edge detection. For machining environments, a specialized 2d scanner for cnc can be integrated directly into the machine tool changer. This allows the CNC machine to measure the geometry of a part immediately after processing, enabling automated compensation and ensuring that every 2d measurement system operates with closed-loop precision.

Riftek offers a wide range of hardware engineered to act as a robust 2d laserscanner for various industrial applications. Our systems are designed to deliver stable results even in harsh environments where dust, vibration, or ambient light might interfere with standard sensors.

  • 2D laser scanners for profiling. These sensors provide a high-density point cloud along a single line, ideal for measuring the shape of a part or detecting surface defects.
  • 2D optical micrometers for shape control. Used for high-precision measurement of bodies of revolution
  • Smart 2D laser measurement systems. Feature built-in processing power to calculate geometric parameters internally, reducing the load on external computers and simplifying integration.
  • 2D scanner for CNC integration. Wireless and high-precision solutions that enable in-process measurement and automated quality assurance within the machining cell.
  • Additional 2D measurement solutions, including the development and production of fully customized 2D laser measurement systems designed to meet specific customer requirements and industrial applications.

Modern 2d measurement systems from Riftek offer outstanding performance characterized by high linearity and sub-micron resolution. A professional 2d laserscanner can capture thousands of profiles per second, allowing for the inspection of objects moving at high speeds on a conveyor. This data density is essential for reconstructing the exact geometry of complex parts or measuring the precise volume of a material.

As a versatile laser 2d scanner, our devices support multiple communication protocols, including Ethernet, RS232/485, and industrial fieldbuses. The software accompanying our 2d laser measurement systems provides advanced tools for profile analysis, such as template matching and automatic feature extraction. This ensures that the 2d profile sensors can be adapted to any task, from simple height checks to the inspection of intricate turbine blade geometries.

Riftek 2D laser scanners and micrometers are built for seamless integration into the Industry 4.0 landscape. They can be installed as static inspection stations or mounted on robotic arms for dynamic scanning. By utilizing a 2d measurement system with real-time feedback, manufacturers can adjust production parameters on the fly, significantly reducing scrap rates and improving overall efficiency.

Thanks to the non-contact principle, our laser scanner 2d equipment requires minimal maintenance and offers long-term stability in heavy industrial conditions. Whether used as a standalone 2d optical micrometer or as part of a multi-sensor 2d laser measurement system, our technology provides the reliability needed for 24/7 manufacturing operations.

2D laser scanners and optical micrometers are utilized across global sectors that demand high precision and automated verification. In the automotive industry, 2d profile sensors are used for body-in-white inspection and engine component measurement. The electronics sector relies on 2d laserscanner technology for PCB inspection and component placement. In the metalworking and wire industries, a 2d optical micrometer ensures the constant diameter and quality of high-speed extrusion lines.

Riftek 2D measurement systems combine advanced optical engineering with industrial robustness to solve the most challenging metrological tasks. Our solutions offer a distinct technical edge, including:

  • High-Speed Profiling. Capture detailed surface geometry at rates exceeding 5000 profiles per second with a professional 2d laser scanner.
  • Dual-Axis Precision. Utilize a 2d optical micrometer to monitor both position and diameter in a single high-speed measurement cell.
  • Smart Data Processing. Benefit from 2d laser measurement systems that perform complex calculations internally for immediate process feedback.
  • In-Process CNC Control. Enhance manufacturing accuracy with a specialized 2d scanner for cnc that automates part verification.
