Non-contact measurement of printed and imprinted surfaces
Edge-adhesive tape and decorative paper are produced in a large variety of decor and structures in large batches. However, if the customer detects that the coil/spool lengths are too short, then it is a considerable effort to reapply the respective product to compensate for shortfalls. Correct sales lengths or coil/spool lengths are ensured by the use of μSPEED systems.
Typical application data:
- Line Speed: typically up to 500 m / min
- Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 0.5-2%
- Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typical: 0.5%
- Amortization: 3 months, direct encoder replacement, no other modifications needed
Material examples:
- Edge-adhesive tape made of different materials: ABS, PMMA, PVC, PP, … printed, imprinted, …
- Decorative papers, finish foils, impregnates, self-adhesive foils and release papers based on special technical papers
- Decorative papers for the furniture, kitchen, wood-based and flooring industries
- different decor and imprinted variants, different degrees of gloss
Machines equipped with non-contact length measurement:
- Roll cutting machine, roll cutter, cross cutter, lengthwise cutter
- Winding machines, rewinder, re-roller, doctor roller
- printing machine, imprinting machine
