As a crucial component of marine engineering, subsea dredging pipelines are responsible for tasks such as sediment removal and subsea pipeline laying. Due to the complex underwater environment, high welding quality is required during pipeline production. Traditional automatic welding equipment is inefficient and produces inconsistent welding quality, failing to meet the requirements. Today, let’s take a look at the application of the ATINY laser seam tracking sensor in fully automated welding of subsea dredging pipelines. Principle of Laser Seam Tracking Sensors The laser seam tracking sensor is a device based on laser vision sensing technology. It utilizes high-precision laser scanning technology and intelligent algorithms to capture the three-dimensional morphology of the weld seam in real time.

Their working principle is based on light reflection and laser triangulation. By accurately measuring the distance between the target object and the sensor, they provide information such as displacement or height. Today, ATINY will explain the working principle of laser displacement sensors. 　　1. Laser Emission 　　The laser displacement sensor emits a very fine laser beam through its internal laser diode. This beam is highly linear and focused, striking the surface of the object being measured. 　　2. Light Reflection 　　After the laser beam hits the object's surface, it reflects back. The angle and direction of the reflected light vary depending on the surface properties of the object and the sensor's position. The sensor receives the reflected light through a receiving unit, usually a position-sensitive photodiode or a CCD/CMOS image sensor. 　　3. Triangulation Method 　　The core technology of laser displacement sensors is based on laser triangulation. When the laser beam strikes the object’s surface and reflects, the sensor uses the triangular geometric relationship between the laser emission point, the reflection point, and the sensor’s receiving point to calculate the distance between the object and the sensor by detecting the angle of the reflected light. This measurement method ensures high precision, making it especially suitable for measuring small displacements or complex surfaces. 　　4. Data Processing and Output 　　The laser displacement sensor's internal processing unit converts the measured data into standard electrical signals, such as analog or digital signals, for further analysis and processing by subsequent equipment. These signals are typically used in applications like monitoring, automated control, or quality inspection. 　　ATINY laser displacement sensors, with their high precision, efficiency, and wide applicability, have become indispensable measurement tools in modern industrial automation.
