Product catalog summary
Overview of NDC's Web Gauging Solutions
NDC offers advanced web gauging systems tailored for the converting industry, addressing diverse measurement and control needs across various applications such as single coater stations and complex multi-scanner extrusion lamination lines. With nine measurement technologies, three scanning frame designs, and two system platforms, NDC provides customized solutions for optimal product quality and fast ROI.

Key Applications
  • Abrasives
  • Adhesive Coating
  • Battery Coating
  • Coil & Foil Coating
  • Extrusion Coating
  • Lamination
  • Paper Coating
  • Specialty Coating

Measurement Techniques
  • Direct Selective Measurement: Utilizes a single infrared sensor for coat weight measurement, isolating the coating layer from the substrate.
  • Combination Measurement: Employs two sensors post-coater for direct coating and total mass measurement, determining substrate basis weight by subtraction.
  • Differential Coat Weight Measurement: Uses two sensors to measure substrate and total weight, calculating coat weight by subtraction.

Advanced Measurement Features
  • Same Spot Measurement: Ensures synchronized sensor paths to eliminate substrate variability in coat weight measurement.
  • True Net Coat Measurement: Calibrates sensors against the coat response curve for accurate net coat calculations.

Sensor Technologies
  • NDC710S Infrared: High-resolution coat weight and moisture measurement for paper and substrates.
  • FS710S Infrared: Measures moisture in paper and board with high sensitivity.
  • SR710S Infrared: Accurate measurement of thin coatings on metal foils and plastics.
  • XRB X-Ray Backscatter: Offers a wide measurement range with low installation costs.
  • XRT X-Ray Transmission: Provides excellent precision and flexibility across applications.
  • GBS Gamma Backscatter: Compact, cost-effective measurement for thickness or weight.
  • Beta Transmission: Accurate on-line measurement of total thickness or basis weight.

Specialty Coating Applications
  • Extrusion, Coating, and Lamination for industrial and packaging materials.
  • Textile Coating with various materials like PUR, Latex, and PVC.
  • Coil and Metal Foil Coating with wax, oil, and polymers.
  • Specialty Coating for batteries, optical films, and magnetic media.
  • Paper Coating for NCR, thermal, and adhesive coatings.
  • Polymer Film Coating for labels, tapes, and protective films.

Additional Features
  • Same-Spot Measurement: Ensures accurate coat weight measurement by linking scanning speed to process line speed.
  • FastStart: Provides early coat weight indication during start-up and product changes.
  • Specialty Coat Weight Measurement Options: Includes Gap Exclusion and Pattern Recognition software for specific coating patterns.
  • Explosion-Proof Equipment Options: Available for harsh environments with Class 1, Division 1, Group C & D approved designs.
  • Solvent-Based Coating Measurement: Determines final coat weight profile based on wet coating measurement.
