(Bytewise Measurement Systems: Columbus, GA) -- Bytewise Measurement Systems explains why the affordable CrossCheck laser profile sensors are perfectly suited to monitor and control web-based and extruded materials. One or two laser profile sensors can be used to measure web width and thickness as well as provide height-based feature tracking and edge guiding. The line-laser-based technology measures flat sheet and extruded products like rubber, plastic, wood, composite materials, PVC, and metal.

It requires no reflective tape, LED arrays, or back lighting, like camera based systems that require cleaning and maintenance to keep operational. The system can also measure shape-based parameters such as thickness, step height, width, angle, radius, location, gap, and depth. The affordable CrossCheck 3-D laser measurement system is used by research and development (R&D), engineering, production, quality, and maintenance personnel to validate product dimensions and tolerances. Academia and R&D facilities use CrossCheck for product development and material studies such as soft material and parts with profiles that can’t be effectively measured by hand calipers.
