Lasers track faster profile line speeds. (Keeping Up with Extrusion).


The latest generation of a laser-based speed sensor Speed sensors are machines used to detect the speed of an object, usually a transport vehicle. They include:
  • Wheel speed sensors
  • Speedometers
  • Pitometer logs
  • Pitot tubes
  • Airspeed indicators
  • Piezo sensors (e.g.
