Parts Measurement on Brake Linings Using Triangulation Laser Distance Sensors
At the end of the production process for brake linings in the automotive industry, the defined tolerance values of the object dimensions must be checked. After all, all linings must have an even thickness. For this purpose, two triangulation laser distance sensors are installed above a clamping device. They measure the ends of the brake pads from above. A subsequent target/actual comparison indicates whether the values are within the tolerance, i.e. whether the brake lining can be approved for assembly.

Measuring the Bending of PCBs via Laser Distance Sensor Triangulation in Soldering Systems
In the electronics industry, PCBs are fixed and conveyed laterally in transport modules, which can lead to bending. In order for the solder robot to compensate for this bend and create the ideal distance between the plate and the solder head, the bending of the PCBs must be measured. A laser distance sensor triangulation is installed for this purpose, which measures several points on the board from below. The control system uses the measured values to create a profile. The sensor measures precisely despite different colors and shiny solder pads and thus enables a reliable soldering process.
