Non-contact speed measurement on cylindrical surfaces
Cylinder speeds and roller speeds often decide on the material quality and the degree of utilization of machines. Drive rollers that run too fast or too slowly generate material defects or cause material breaks, but often also cause increased wear on belts, screens, felts, bearings and drives. Measuring cylinder velocities with non-contact μSPEED laser encoder gauges is simple, fast, safe and accurate.
Typical application data:
- Cylinder speeds: typically up to 3,000 m / min
- Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: only at low speeds
- Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typically 0.03%
- Amortization: 1 – 3 months, PC for displaying measured values and storage, tripod mounting
Measurement / Material Examples:
- Cylinder speed, roller speed in paper machines, rolling machines, calenders
- Chromed cylinders, rubberized cylinders, coated cylinders, textured cylinders,
- Surface speed of rotating spreader rollers, drafting rollers, drive rollers
- Finding incorrectly listed roll diameters or defective belt drives
Machines equipped with non-contact length measurement:
- Paper Machines, Tissue Machines, Crepe Formers, Yankee Cylinders
- Nonwoven and nonwoven machines, felting machines
- Rolling mills, rolling machines and winding machines
- Extruders, film casting machines, calenders, laminating machines, fabric inspection machines
