Material variation and elastic recovery after stamping

One of the main challenges in sheet thickness measurement is the variation in material properties, such as thickness, composition and overall properties. These variations can impact the accuracy of thickness measurement. Additionally, during the stamping process, the sheet undergoes deformation and may experience elastic recovery after forming, making it difficult to accurately measure the thickness of the formed parts.

Omron's E3AS and other advanced sensors

Omron provides several sensing technologies, including the E3AS series and advanced sensing laser measurement sensors like the ZG2, ZX1, and ZX0. The E3AS series is a distance-settable photoelectric sensor that provides reliable detection with minimal effect on curved, glossy, or casting surfaces, reducing design and commissioning time. The advanced sensing laser measurement sensors, including the ZG2, ZX1, and ZX0 models, use time-of-flight technology to precisely measure distances without interference due to object color, texture, contour, or sheen.
