Calibrated Length Measurement of Paper and Fleece

Calibrated measurement of roll lengths and area on paper and fleece

When selling paper and nonwovens in the EU, the length or area measurement must be done with calibrated length measurement devices. Disturbing factors such as slippage of the measuring unit at high speeds, the influence of the material thickness and the material structure must be avoided in order to follow the required tolerances within the EU. Thus, the use of non-contact calibrated length measurement systems is advised. ELOVIS offers a complete solution including temperature and laser protection, printer connection and interface for operating data collection. Width measurement can be done on the finished cut roll with embodied measuring means. The combination of length and width gives the sales-relevant area or square size measure and thus allows the only legally secure value determination when selling by area or square size.

Typical application data:

  • Path Velocity: typically up to 3,600 m / min
  • Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 1 – 5%
  • Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typically 0.03%
  • Amortization: 1 month, direct encoder replacement, no other modifications needed
