Laser Add-on

The optical triangulation Laser Distance Sensor is an add-on to the Magcam Portal Scanner and Rotor Scanner for measuring the dimensions of magnets and magnet assemblies under test. The first purpose of the Laser Distance Sensor is to measure the height test and to position the MiniCube magnetic field camera at the correct distance above the sample during a magnetic measurement. 

For operation with the MagScope software, the 'LaserDistanceSensor.mcplug' plugin should be installalled.

A magnetic measurement can also be performed by pushing the hardware start button or by pressing the Start button of the Xyz Scan network. The results of both the magnetic and laser scanning are then both available as MagScope data that can be saved and analyzed.

Hardware Features Laser Add-On

The used apparatus is a point triangulation laser sensor but next to measuring the magnet height prior to a magnetic measurement, the Laser Distance Sensor can also be used to make a surface map of the magnet by scanning the laser across the magnet in a on a user defined grid.

The laser is mounted on the Z axis and moves together with the MiniCube magnetic field camera of the portal scanner or rotor inspector installation.

With one push on the start button the different rotor inspection setups of Magcam are able to laserscan the surface of your rotor. Correlation between magnetic field and non-perfect surfaces or special geometries can thus be analyzed.  

 

Magcam RI with laser add-on

Software Features Laser Add-On

For operation with the MagScope software a plugin should be installed. The laser is operated through the MagScope measurement and analysis software. It is integrated in the XYZ Scan action used for measuring the height of a magnet with the Magcam Portal Scanner.

A fast calibration procedure whereby the sample plate height and/or a reference height are measured is standard integrated in the operating software.
