Length Measurement of transparent Foil and Film

Abrasion-free, non-contact measurement of sensitive surfaces

Precise length measurement of transparent film and foil for the food industry and length measurement of optical films. Length measurement of particularly smooth surfaces and of surfaces with almost no structure, printed as well as non-printed surfaces. Non-contact and maintenance-free as well as permanently accurate measurement by ELOVIS μSPEED laser encoder systems.

Typical application data:

  • Path Velocity: typically up to 1,000 m / min
  • Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 0.5-1%
  • Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typical: 0.03%
  • Amortization: 3 months, direct encoder replacement, no other modifications needed

Material examples:

  • transparent foil and film, high-gloss film, food film, packaging film, furniture film and foil, …
  • PET film, PE film, PP film, PVC film, PS film, PLA film, …

Foil machines which are equipped with non-contact length gauges:

  • Roll Cutting Machines, Roll Cutter, Cross Cutter, Lengthwise Cutter
  • Winding machines, rewinder, re-roller, doctor roller
  • extruders, film casting machines, calenders
  • laminating machines, goods foam machines
