Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dimensional inspection, and specifically relates to a thickness inspection device for workpieces. Background Art

[0002] In machining, especially for workpieces processed by planers and milling machines, detecting their thickness tolerances is a necessary means to control the quality of workpieces. Currently, an infrared ranging sensor is used to detect the numerical difference between the height value of the workpiece and the value of the platform to calculate the thickness of the workpiece. For some precision workpieces, extremely high requirements are imposed on the entire thickness surface. The flatness of the platform itself cannot guarantee the detection accuracy. For precision workpieces, extremely high requirements are imposed on the dimensional tolerances of the entire thickness surface. Detecting the thickness at only one point or a few points obviously cannot meet the detection requirements. Content of the Utility Model
