Bend Angle Measurement

From Balluff, Inc.
 

 
Accurate measurement of component bend angles is critical, especially in progressive stamping procedures. Each bend angle can affect the accuracy and tolerances of the next metal forming step. Highly accurate, durable, and repeatable sensors can monitor the quality of each process step in the metal forming operation, verifying the certain profiles, angles, or features have been properly made.
