Automated length measurement

An automated standard component checking process, Euroscan System - Flexible Length Gauge, comprises a vibration parts feeder tooled to deliver components from 3 to 120 mm in length in single file onto a length of horizontal conveyor.

The conveyor speed is quicker than the feeder, providing separation between components. Components pass in front of a closed-circuit digital camera and the image is compared with that previously stored in the control memory. Components not recognised or that do not conform will be discharged via a reject chute. A second camera can be integrated to check longer components for contour and position.
