An economical concept, vital for a profit conscious customer, the TSM thickness profiler will help film producers increase productivity and improve quality while reducing scrap. The system is used for on-line measurement of the thickness profile in blown / film extrusion line installations.

TSM Thickness Profiler - 37217 Benefits

• Economical concept to increase productivity while reducing scrap, saving resin and improving product quality • No contact with film, therefore no scratching • On-spec film thickness improves print consistency • Measurement is only made when film has cooled to ambient temperature - so the system measures exactly what the customer is paying for • On-spec film thickness increases customer and end user satisfaction

Description

• This device measures the film at the edge of lay-flat film • The film glides through the spacing between two electrodes without making contact • The blown film thickness is determined by measuring the capacitive changes that occur in the space between the electrodes as the film glides through • An electronic signal corresponding to the capacitive changes is transmitted to the process control as a thickness profile • This profile can be correlated to the die bolts of the extruder by taking into account the rotation and zero position of the blown film line • To cope with fluctuating film edge position, the option of an automatic edge positioning device is available to ensure measurement consistency. It also allows automatic reset to zero at regular intervals
