Our company continues to improve Laser Wheel Profilometer and today we are introducing IKP-5, Model 2017.
While developing a new generation of popular gauge, we have tried to resolve encountered problems to enhance the device reliability and accuracy, taking into account all the wishes and recommendations of our Customers and Partners we got during exploitation of IKP-5.
Below you will find details for the upgrade that was provided:
| Parameter | Model 2016 | Model 2017 | How we improved the parameter |
|
Accuracy: flange height and thickness other parameters |
±0.1mm ±0.2 mm |
±0.03…0.05 mm ±0.1 mm |
More than double the increase of accuracy achieved by using of new electronics (ARM-processer based) for laser sensor and advanced algorithms of sensors data processing |
| Discreteness of the profile formation, not worse than |
3200 points or 0.045 mm |
5800 points or 0.025 mm |
Increased processor memory |
|
The number of measurements that can be taken before battery recharge is not less than |
1000 | 5000 |
Using of 5400mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery Upgraded stepper motor driver with optimized power consumption |
| Laser module battery life time | - | 5 million | Using of Li-ion rechargeable battery |
| Working temperature range | -15…+35°C | -30…+50°C |
Using of Li-ion rechargeable battery Carefully temperature calibration of the gauge |
| Enclosure rating | IP42 | IP42 or IP64 | Silicon sealing of the caps |
| Working with shiny surfaces and surfaces with large slope | Problems | Solved |
Adaptive scanning speed (speed changes depending on surface quality) Increased dynamic range of laser sensor |
NEW IKP-5, Model 2017 manual is available here. The new gauge is available for orders.
Also we'd like to inform you about special model of Laser Wheel Profilometer with Super Short handle and external battery, developed especially for Ansaldo Breda low floor trams which have very limited space for profilometer installing (get the details in Laser Wheel Profilometer IKP-5, Model 2017 Manual).
Hope you'll enjoy working with the modified device!
