Laser Triangulation Displacement Sensors
Our LAP laser triangulation displacement sensors are designed to provide the most accurate distance measurements while avoiding contact with the surface area. This ensures the avoidance of wear and tear of the sensor and maintains the aesthetic and structural integrity of the product, with no trace left on the surface.
The laser triangulation sensors can be used to measure soft, sticky or hot surfaces as well as other sensitive surfaces that require the utmost care to maintain quality. Optical measurement is independent of the material, which ensures that there will be no influence of chemical or material properties, colour or reflectivity, owing to the excellent dynamic behaviour of the sensors.

Fibre Optic Displacement Sensors
Scantron stocks a number of fibre optic displacement sensors that can aid in ensuring your workplace remains efficient. Applications are as wide ranging as measurement of clearance in a turbine, measurement of thermal expansion in a material, or displacement of fluids under pressure.
These are retro-reflective optical devices that use sensors with bundled glass or quartz fibres that transmit light to targeted surfaces and in return also receive light from such surfaces. The intensity of the reflected light is then processed to identify and provide the distance between the sensor tip and targeted surface. They are designed to be robust and withstand extreme temperatures without fail while also operating at a high frequency capacity up to 200 kHz.

Laser Phase Shift
The SLS Laser Distance Measurement Sensor is designed for mobile and stationary distance measurement in an industrial environment. The SLS works based on comparative phase measurement. To achieve this, it emits visible laser beams in different frequencies. The target being measured returns diffusely reflected light that is subsequently compared with a reference signal. Finally, a microprocessor uses the recorded phase shift to calculate a required distance with mm accuracy. The sensor SLS distinguishes itself through high precision as well as independence of the surface of the measured object. The red, well visible laser beam, allows a simple alignment.
Laser Micrometers
Scantron supplies precision self-calibrating diameter measurement systems from some of the world’s leading manufacturers for a wide range of applications.
Aeroel’s line of Xactum laser micrometers is our preferred choice thanks to its industry-leading repeatability and warranty length. Every gauge features Aeroel’s patented ‘NO-VAR’ active thermal compensation which ensures correct diameter measurement in any condition, as well as built-in references to further guarantee enduring performance and remove the need to remaster the gauge for varying product size.

Offline Tube & Sheet Measurement
Scantron has a range of solutions for offline tube sheet measurement including custom options to suit specific products and measurements. Our offline tube sheet measurement solutions offer the same commitment to excellence as our other non-contact surface measurement systems and can be used across a range of application types and materials.
Transparent, semi-transparent and soft materials can be difficult to quality check and control. Scantron can offer non-contact sensors and standalone benchtop systems. These allow for quick and easy laboratory quality control and certification to be performed across a number of products within the laboratory environment.

Flat & Multi-Layered Materials
If you need to perform non-contact interferometric measurement of transparent or translucent film thickness, Scantron’s expert solutions can be used both on or offline.
With a 1.8 − 4 mm measurement range, our flat multi-layered materials non-contact surface measurement systems come with easy to use software and have a number of applications.
The thickness of transparent or semi-transparent polymer sheets and membranes can be measured online using state-of-the-art interferometric technology with a single point sensor, a multi-track system, or scanning sensors. It is even possible to measure the thickness of complex multilayer materials and thin films, such as those used for food packaging purposes, diffusion barriers, protective wrapping, or medical films.

Plastic, Rubber & Glass Tube
The extrusion of tubes for medical applications (e.g. perfluoroalkoxy or silicone rubber) requires a high level of quality and traceability. One of the defects that can affect the quality of tubular products is the non-uniformity of wall thickness across the cross-section. Here, Scantron’s non-contact plastic, rubber and glass tube measurement solutions are invaluable.
Offline Laser Micrometers
The Xactum range of laser micrometers are suitable to be installed in any production environment and can guarantee exceptional performance. Parity of measurement can be achieved between the factory floor and the metrology lab, as a result of their vibration-resistant design and unique and patented NO-VAR calibration features. The NO-VAR calibration actively compensates ambient thermal changes in the environment and eliminates their effect on the measurements of the gauge.
As an industry-leader in this field, the product can provide the highest level of repeatability and accuracy, something that is crucial when working to fine tolerances. All of this is complemented by a built-in calibration cycle to ensure consistent performance.

Online Laser Micrometers
Investing in the most effective and sophisticated equipment for your factory or workplace is vital to continuing excellent productivity and trusting that your operations will be completed day after day without issues. With a robust build, long warranty and extensive additional accessories, our laser micrometers are the ideal solution to online measurements. They are perfectly suited to aid you in carrying out your task with ease and efficiency.
Some of the additional accessories include: product guides for alignment of wire or cable in the measurement range of the gauge; air purge protection to prevent ingress of dust or oil; cleaning rings to remove light emulsion or moisture from the bar prior to measurement; frames for added stability; and warning or traffic lights to signal quickly to the operator that the production is out of tolerance or at a pre-alarm stage.

Hot Metal
The Contour Check series of gauges presents a range of turnkey systems that enable full online measurement of aspects such as diameter, shape or defects regarding metal production. This is accomplished through either the shadowing or light-sectioning measuring principles. This exhibits high accuracy and measuring frequency to guarantee precision and confidence in the system for all quality purposes.
Gauges have been equipped with intelligent software that contributes to their ability to identify, classify and acknowledge specific defects in production or rolling and is designed to alert operators to act fast to solve such production issues before they result in product scrappage. Diagnosable rolling defects include roller offset, shift, eccentricity, over and under filling, partial fill, inhomogeneous material, varying temperature distribution, blisters, roll strands, cracks and broken out areas, scoring and symmetry control which could be considered out of square, out of hex or ovality.

Proform Software
Proform Software is a very powerful analysis tool for identifying the difference between two samples by overlaying their scans.
Proscan DDMS
The Scantron Proscan DDMS (Defect Detection and Measurement System) represents a fully automated, machine-learning approach to identification and measurement of scratches, pits, pinholes and surface deformations to µm levels. It provides state-of-the-art automated smart defect detection, measurement and sentencing in one system.
Proscan Magnum
The Proscan Magnum is a non-contact shape table for offline measurement of flatness or shape of aluminium or steel strip. Stresses within the rolled strip mean a residual ‘shape’ remains within the material. This shape is evident when the strip is laid on a flat surface.
The Proscan Magnum accurately measures and quantifies the latent shape in the sample proving absolute values of wave heights, waves per meter and ‘I’ units. Offline measurement is the most accurate method of measuring shape as there is no tension or stress in the material during the measuring process. This makes the Proscan Magnum particularly suited for measuring thin gauge material with very high flatness specification such as lithographic aluminium coil. This system provides the user with full 2D & 3D mapping of the surface flatness.
