non-contact width measurement and thickness measurement for strips
Narrow strips are to be checked for compliance with a defined width and thickness. Width and thickness errors that already exist in production can no longer be eliminated afterwards. It is therefore important to detect deviations at an early stage – in principle already when the strips are still within the tolerance range but have exceeded a warning range. The TLS cross section light scanner is used for non-contact, maintenance-free and permanently accurate measurement.
Typical application data:
- Measurement of strip/web/belt/tape/ribbon widths during production and in the context of quality assurance
- Measurement of strip/web/belt/tape thickness during production and in the context of quality assuranceMeasurement of widths up to approx. 90 mm, larger widths possible by sensor cascading
- Production speeds: typically 100 m/min
- Problem with contacting measuring devices: only random sample control possible, personnel dependency
- Measuring accuracy with non-contact strip/web/belt/tape/ribbon width/thickness measurement: typically 0.01 mm
- amortization: approx. 3 months
- Integration of the measuring system into the existing plant technology
Material examples:
- plastic tape/web/belt polypropylene tape
- foil tapes/web/belt, film web
- Metal strips, slit strip
- Flat wire, round wire, profile wire
Machines which are equipped with non-contact cross-section measurement:
- Extrusion lines
- Rolling mills
- Winding machines
- Embossing machines
