Product Details The InteliSENS® DGk dual-axis diameter gauge does much more than measure diameters. LED and CCD technology, with our specially designed optics, provides ultra-fast and high-precision measurement of diameter and position, analyzing your product's surface in precise detail. This technology has no moving parts, no wear, and no drift. The FPGA processor used in DGk diameter gauges enables ultra-fast measurements: 10,000 scans per second as standard and, optionally, 20,000 scans per second. Additional options add measurement, control, alarm, and product quality reporting functions. Like all Proton i4 products, each gauge features digital and industrial inputs and outputs for easy integration into your production lines.

Measurement Technology Unlike traditional laser diameter gauges, which use a mechanically scanned laser beam, the InteliSENS® DGK-i4 uses a solid-state technique. An LED light source generates a wide collimated light beam that fully illuminates the measurement area. The shadow generated by an object inserted into this light beam is visualized by a CCD, and the resulting electrical signal is digitally processed to measure the diameter. This solid-state approach offers the following advantages over traditional laser diameter gauges: Higher measurement speed (not limited by mechanical scan time). Greater reliability and MTBF of the gauge as there is no wear from moving parts. No laser precautions required, as a non-laser light source is used.

Additional Gauge Head Hardware 3 analog outputs (±10 V) adjustable to X, Y, Z axis output for 2 and 3 axis gauges. Mean diameter, diameter error, ovality, and ovality error. Feedback control monitors the actual measured diameter compared to a preset value and provides a control output signal that can be used to adjust motor output and keep the product diameter within the preset value. Additional Gauge Head Software DGK10k scan option updates the standard gauge to a super-high scan speed, ideal when used with SMFD single measurement flaw detection. Each scan takes only 1 ms to obtain and output a new diameter reading. Maximum, Minimum, Mean, Standard Deviation, Cp, Cpk are collected over a selectable period or duration. Results are updated on the universal SiDi CDi4 display, PCIS software, and can be transmitted digitally. Statistical Process Control (SPC) enhances the feedback control option. SPC measures Process Capability and automatically adjusts the control setpoint to maximize material savings while maintaining control within upper and lower limits. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analyzes diameter data for periodicity. Provides amplitude vs. frequency data and a graphical representation on the universal SiDi CDi4 display or PCIS software. Single Measurement Flaw Detection (SMFD) analyzes each individual measurement and compares it to the current mean. If an individual measurement is above the current mean and above or below a threshold value, a flaw is detected.
