The use of noncontact laser gauging systems for online measurement
John Peoples, Larry B. WeinsteinIncreased worldwide competition has driven industry to find ever faster and more accurate techniques for product inspection. Although developed only recently, noncontact laser…
Online focus control sensor for laser welding offers improved reliability without process intrusion
Duncan P. Hand, Chris Peters, Julian JonesA robust and non‐intrusive focus control system for laser welding has been developed under a collaboration between GSI Lumonics (Rugby) and Heriot‐Watt University in Edinburgh, as…
Achieving greater efficiency in NDT inspections
James QuirkDescribes the application of an ultrasonic sensing system for the non‐destructive inspection of welds as an alternative to X‐rays. Replacing radiography with ultrasound not only…
Advancements in infra‐red array detectors
Gareth J. MonkmanDespite many advances during the last decade in both infra‐red sensor and solid state camera technology, until now little headway has been made in the production of cost‐effective…
Application of SpectraScan tunable diode laser instruments to fugitive emissions
M.B. Frish, L.J. Edwards, P.N. McDonnell, J.M. MelnykThe advantages of lasers over broad‐band light sources for spectroscopic measurements have long been recognized. Laser techniques offer the ability to measure the concentrations…
Scannerless laser range camera
Wilfried Schroeder, Ernst Forgber, Stéphane EstableThe requirement to quickly obtain 3D measurements is common to a variety of tasks in different fields of applications, i.e. robotics, space craft rendezvous and docking scenarios…
A strategy for accurate guidance of a manipulator using laser interferometry‐based sensing technique
Bijan Shirinzadeh, Pek Loo Teoh, Chee Wei Foong, YongDong LiuLaser interferometry‐based sensing (LIS) technique has been proposed and established recently to track and perform dynamic measurements on a moving end‐effector of a robot…
Conductive polymer‐carbon black composites‐based sensor arrays for use in an electronic nose
Beth C. Muñoz, Gregory Steinthal, Steven SunshinePolymer‐carbon black composites are a new class of chemical detecting sensors used in electronic noses. These composites are prepared by mixing carbon black and polymer in an…
