With gapCONTROL, Micro-Epsilon offers a measurement system speciallymatched to the demands of gap measurement. Sensor matrix (pixels)The diffusely reflected light of the laser line isdisplayed on the high-value sensormatrixThe measuring principleLaser scanners - often referred to as profile sensors - use the laser triangulation principle fortwo-dimensional profile detection on different target surfaces.Using special lenses, a laser beam is enlarged to form a static laser line and projected onto thetarget surface. A high-quality optical system projects the diffusely reflected light of this laser lineonto a highly sensitive CMOS matrix. In addition to the distance information (z-axis), the controlleralso uses this camera image to calculate the position along the laser line (x-axis). Thesemeasured values are then designated as a profile in a two-dimensional coordinate system thatis fixed in respect to the sensor. The gapCONTROL sensor evaluates this profile according tospecified criteria and outputs the result (e.g. gap width) as a measured value via the interfaces.

There are different definitions of how the optical gap is defined for differentindustries and measuring targets. The gapCONTROL Setup Software enables quick and easyconfiguration of gapCONTROL sensors. Both components together represent a complete solutionfor automated gap measurement.After parameterisation, the sensor operates in standalone mode. However, the software can beused for the visualisation of the measured values.gapCONTROL gap modesThe user-friendly, intuitive software guides the user through the program. In the first step, a gapmode is chosen from a wide selection of conventional gap types. This pre-selection specifies astart configuration for the chosen gap type. With simple types of gap, e.g. “Edge Points Gap”,no additional configuration is needed. Other gap types offer application-specific configurationoptions.Parameterisation of the gap measurementsAfter selecting the gap mode, the search algorithms for the right and left-hand gap edges as wellas for the gap offset are specified with the gapCONTROL Software.For dynamic processes, gapCONTROL also offers tracking functionality, e.g. following the centerposition. Selection of the gap type and measuring programMeasurement output: Plug&Play solution in the integrated controllerFor output of measured values, these can be configured with freely assigned values. The configurationof gapCONTROL can be saved in the memory of the sensor. Consequently, the sensoris ready for running in its standalone mode without an external PC. Besides measurement valueoutput via Ethernet (Modbus TCP protocol, UDP protocol) and RS422 (Modbus RTU protocolor ASCII format), additional digital switch signals and analogue measuring values can also beoutput.Measuring values Ethernet (Modbus TCP or UDP)Power supplyTriggerSynchronisationMode switchingSensor controlMeasuring values RS422 (Modbus RTU or ASCII-Format)ACT 1 2Analogue measuring values Parameterising the gap on the left and right-hand edge750-352Digital outputOutput UnitSensor configuration Measurement value outputMeasurement and evaluation of the measurement value sequenceUsing the „Result Monitor“ analysis program, selected measurement value sequences of recordedprofiles and live profiles can be displayed and analysed, enabling the evaluation of measurements.Additionally, an integrated cgm analysis (capability gauge measurement), and furtherstatistical parameters (e.g. limit value exceeded, average values) are available. The software allowsthese values to be exported for archive purposes or for further analysis in calculation tables.Load and saveThe gapCONTROL Setup Software allows both profiles and measuring results (e.g. gap width)to be saved. Stored profiles, even without a gapCONTROL sensor connected, can be re-loaded,and all parameters of the evaluation can be tested on these offline data. Several example profilesare already included with the standard installation of the gapCONTROL Setup Software, and theycan largely be used to test the functioning of the software.Download at: http://www.micro-epsilon.com/gapcontrol-setup-software Measured value sequence (optional)

4 “Basic Gaps” measuring programs gapCONTROLEdgeless gapThe edgeless gaps are the so-called „BasicGaps“ and are characterised by clearly definedreference points for gap measurement.These could be, for example, the end pointsor the lowest points of each side. Furthermore,the offset of both sides is easily measurable.This gap type allows for an easy entry and thedesired measurement result is output by modifyingjust a few settings.„Basic Gaps“ programs:• Edge Points Gap• Top Points Gap• Bottom Points Gap• Threshold Points GapTypical values measured:• Gap width• Height differences• Center position

“Projected Gaps” measuring programs5Projected GapWith these types of gaps, the end points ofboth sides are projected. There are differentways of projection, for example, the projectiononto a common parallel or the projection of anend point onto the opposite side.The distance between the projected points isdescribed as gap width.The pre-defined gap variants allow for easyand fast setting.„Projected Gaps“ programs:• Intersection Gap• Single Line Projection Gap• Double Line Projection Gap• Point to Line Projection GapTypical values measured:• Gap width• Minimum distance• Angle

6 „Advanced Gaps“ measuring programsgapCONTROLAdvanced Gaps:These types offer the user advanced settings.The algorithms for flushness measurement orprojection can be adapted independently ofeach other as well as the search criteria forthe respective gap points. Furthermore, thesegap types provide numerous additional measuredvalues such as angle or unevenness ofthe edges.Easy startIn most cases, it makes sense to start withthe „Basic Gaps“ or „Projected Gaps“ measurementprograms. If required, the user caneasily switch to the advanced settings via thenavigation menus. The software enables theuser to keep all previous settings.Advanced V-Gap - A special typeThis gap type is specially conceived for cladding(welding) of, for example, pipelines. Differentvalues such as the current fill level, theoscillation width at a certain depth, and theoffset of both sides can be output.
