Width of paper rolls on the chain conveyor

Non-contact final measurement of the width of paper rolls in a single pass

Paper rolls are transported to the warehouse via chain conveyors after wrapping. Prior to storage, the rolls of paper are measured in width while passing through. This happens without contact and very precisely with the ELOVIS length-section light scanner. The ELOVIS SLM gauge is robust, not dust-prone and provides the important width information before the vertical storage of the role.

Typical Application Data:

  • Width Measurement of rolls of paper during longitudinal transport, before storage
  • Transport speeds: typically up to 30 m / min
  • Problem with measurement devices since then: manual measuring errors, roll must stand still
  • Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement SLM: typically +/- 1mm / m
  • Amortization: 2 months, integration of the measuring system into the existing conveyor system

Material examples:

  • Paper rolls, ready for sale rolls, roll width from front to front
  • cardboard rolls, box rolls, nonwoven rolls
  • hubs, cores, sleeves

Processes in which a non-contact piece length measurement is advantageous:

  • Width measurement of the roll following the roll cutter, lengthwise cutter, trimming line
  • Width measurement following guillotine, cross cutter, cross divider, cutting machine
  • Length measurement of hubs and sleeves after the saw line, flying saw, continuous saw
