Thickness Measurement In Hot Melt Calenders

The systems of the FTS familiy series offer thickness measurements with extreme stability and accuracy. Applying them in thermoformed flat film lines provides reliable measurement results in high precision and thus creates the basis for controlling the production process and eventually the quality achieved.

Gauges and inspection systems from Micro-Epsilon are used in the plastics processing industry in order to ensure efficient production.

For the production of reeled resistors or sheet goods on roller head installations the thickness measurement is an essential factor for controlling and monitoring the production process. Applying systems of the RTP series, the profile thickness can be measured in various accuracy classes, thickness ranges and material widths.

The RTP 8302.T is based on the laser triangulation sensors and therefore ensures the measurement being independently from material constants. In order to ensure highest precision, the laser beams of the sensors are accurately adjusted during the production process using optoelectronic tools which have been specially developed. The system is ideal for monitoring high-dynamically processes due to its high measuring rate. The C-frame mechanics of the system disposes of an automated in-situ calibration in order to avoid interferences caused by temperature.
