传统上,检测和维修船用螺旋桨需要耗费大量人力物力。自动船桨外形检测系统需要高速非接触位移传感器实现桨叶外形尺寸的动态检测,同时需要较大量程。米铱公司的激光三角反射式传感器刚好满足这些要求。
Traditionally, the inspection and repair ofmarine propellers has been very labor intensive, with all data collection, documentation,and blade manipulation having to be manually performed by human operators. Aninnovative machine has been developed to automate these processes, providing thebenefits of reduced labor time, increased safety, improved repeatability, andcomputer-based data storage and reporting. The machine’s designers required ahigh-speed non-contact displacement sensor capable of dynamically profiling theblades, which can be as large as 1.5 meters in diameter.
