IAS Becomes Official SICK Distance Measurement Integrators

 

IAS and SICK are proud to announce the extension of our already great partnership by becoming SICK Certified Distance Measurement Integrators.   SICK’s distance sensing product line includes.   Short, Mid, and Long Range Distance Sensors Ultrasonic Sensors Linear Measurement Sensors Optical Data Transmission Position Finders See the SICK distance sensor overview here.   So what does this mean for you? It means that IAS is highly trained in distance sensing applications, to provide you with the most efficient and cost-effective way to track your processes.

A Quick Case Study: IAS implemented an axial run out system using a SICK DT50 sensor to prevent damage to precision ground dressing wheels.  The system acts to prevent damage from mis-seated products and can save the customer thousands of dollars in damage costs alone.

The Power of 3D Vision

Employing 3D vision to measure, locate, and inspect your product can improve the metrics that matter to you by leaps and bounds.

The advanced technology of a SICK 3D Ranger Camera can meet the unique needs of your plant, and can enable automation in processes once considered impossible or impractical to improve.

A optimized system does not end with a well integrated camera though. Through the unique capabilities of IAS we can implement custom software to receive the data and turn it into the most direct, beneficial and actionable data for your company. The gathering of process/product data can yield great results regardless of industry, but seeing is believing right? IAS has a great video that shows all of this in action.
