Repeat Length Measurement – highly precise at maximum speed
The purpose of pattern repeat length measurement is to shorten the running-in process and to achieve permanently correct mark distances. When product elasticities and machine drives have to be matched, and when mark distances must be in a tolerance range defined by the customer, the printers and process engineers are demanded. Without tools and relying just on feeling, the adjustment work can be time-consuming and wasteful. … Whether measurement for documentation purposes, from process monitoring to process control, the laser-encoder based pattern repeat-length measurement systems μSPEED-RL are non-contact and consistantly accurate measurement solutions.
Typical imprinted measurement materials:
- Paper, Cardboard, Tissue, …
- Film, foil, plastic packaging
- Textiles, carpets, nonwoven, fabric
- Webs, sheets, foils of metal
- Cable, wire, rope
- Profiles, tubes, strands
Typical machines with measurement problems:
- Printing machines
- Web printing machines
- Rewinder
- Doctor Roller
- Inkjet printers
- Laser marking systems
