Scanning Thickness Measurement System
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerAs technology evolves products are designed with narrower manufacturing tolerances which require more precise manufacturing practices and testing. This project designs and implements a scanning thickness gauge for use in the sheet extrusion industry. The report discusses the need for the scanning thickness gauge and why a commercially available system was not an option. The report details the steps taken to program, interface, and implement a scanning thickness gauge using an existing thickness measurement device. The finished project is discussed including the limitations of the system and future improvements to the system.
