Non-contact thickness measurement in hot melt calender lines (thickness 30µm to 6mm)

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

Advantages

•  Reduced consumption of raw materials goes along with increased quality
•  Adaptive traversing speed
•  Emission-free measuring technology
•  Easy adaption in production lines
•  Customized interfaces

Material parameter

•  Film thickness 30µm up to 6mm
•  Film width up to 3000mm
•  Material feed up to 14m/min

The non-contact version thicknessCONTROL BTS 8104.NC is based on a patented pneumatic position control. This version works with the non-contact air bearing technology which allows a perfect compensation of the movement on the bubble.

Features:

•  100% non-contact measurement
•  Resolution <0.1µm
•  No calibration necessary during measurement

BTS 8104.C                                                                                                              Industry brochure "plastics production"

The BTS 8104.C is designed for reversing measurements after the extrusion. The capacitive sensor is available with different coatings.

Features:

•  Resolution <0.1 µm>
•  Without reverse-frame the sensor can be used for measurement on flat films
•  No calibration necessary during measurement

BTS 8100.C                                                                                                            Industry brochure "plastics production"

The BTS 8104.C is designed for measurements on flat films. The capacitive sensor is easy to adapt in existing process lines.

Features:

•  Resolution <0.1µm
