THICKNESSCONTROL series 8315 THICKNESSCONTROL 8315 is a measurement system for in-line thickness measurement of non-transparent plates and webs (e.g. chipboards, mineral plates, etc.). These systems are employed directly in the production device for quality assurance and process inspection. In the Series 8315 a laser-based optical detection is used with a very large base distance in order to achieve as large an opening for the material web as possible and to therefore ensure high process safety. The measurement is carried out from one side by means of a reference surface which is measured before the start of production and is saved as a calibration. An integral, temperature-invariant compensation frame in the Series 8315 forms the basis for monitoring the measuring gap with additional sensors. By applying efficient algorithms a virtual, but constant gap is established which enables a highly accurate and temperature-stable measurement to be made. System advantages: - Measurement range up to 50 mm -Combined linearity - Dynamic repeatability < 5um - Resolution in the measurement direction < 1 um - High measuring rate upto 5 kHz - Scalable traversing width of up to 6,000 mm - High traversing speed up to max. 0.2 m/s Fields of application: - Chip boards - Mineral boards - Foam material webs |
