Scanner O-Frame
The scanning platform (O-Frame) carries both the sensors and continuously scans back and forth across the sheet being measured. The sensor carriage is continuously moving, and throughout its scan both the sensors must remain aligned. Scanner precision and stability are crucial for obtaining proper measurements from the sensors. The O-Frame Scanner is designed to be very strong, reliable and at the same time accurate. The design is based on double I-Beam structure welded together to form a box construction. The resulting O-Frame structure is very strong, rigid and mechanically stable. It is only with this rigid structure that makes it possible to mount sensors and maintain high precision alignment during scanning back and forth across the sheet. During the manufacturing process the top and bottom sensor carriages are precisely aligned to within +/- 0.5mm in x, y and z directions. The materials used are chosen for precision and reliability under heavy duty daily use. With the rigid O-Frame design this precision alignment is mechanically locked into system. The carriage movement is on heavy duty linear motion system based on ball bearings with many times over rating.
