Abstract

Steel plate thickness inspection is important in high-precision steel processing and manufacturing. Traditional inspection methods use manual contact measurement, which has low inspection efficiency and large human error, so we proposed a differential non-contact thickness measurement system based on laser triangulation sensors. Firstly, we designed a differential measurement structure by placing the laser triangulation sensors on the top and bottom of the steel plate to be measured, so that the data from the top and bottom sensors can be sampled and the steel plate thickness can be calculated simultaneously. Secondly, based on the principle of error averaging effect, we proposed a multi-point measurement averaging method to take multiple points on the surface of the steel plate and calculate the average value as the thickness of the steel plate. Further, to improve the measurement system’s long-term stability, the temperature drift is corrected by the polynomial fitting method. Finally, the experiment proves that the repeatability accuracy of our proposed measurement system can reach ±0.5um and the measurement drift is better than ±0.1% of the steel plate thickness.
