Product catalog summary
Overview
NDC Technologies provides advanced web gauging systems tailored for the converting industry, addressing diverse measurement and control needs across various applications such as coating and lamination. Their systems offer nine measurement technologies, three scanning frame designs, and two system platforms, ensuring optimal product quality and fast ROI.

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 to measure coating and total mass, determining substrate weight by subtraction.
  • Differential Coat Weight Measurement: Uses two sensors to calculate coat weight by subtracting substrate weight from total weight.

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

Applications
NDC's systems are applicable in various sectors, including abrasives, adhesive coating, coil & foil coating, extrusion coating, lamination, paper coating, specialty coating, and textile coating.

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: Measures 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 precise measurement and flexibility across applications.
  • GBS Gamma Backscatter: Compact sensor for thickness or weight measurement from one side.
  • Beta Transmission: Accurate on-line measurement of total thickness or basis weight.

Special Features
  • Same-Spot Measurement: Maintains accuracy during line speed changes.
  • FastStart: Provides early coat weight indication during start-up.
  • Specialty Coat Weight Measurement Options: Includes Gap Exclusion and Pattern Recognition software for specific coating types.
  • Explosion-Proof Equipment: Available for harsh environments with specific safety approvals.

Converting Industry-3

APPLICATION NOTE WEB GAUGING ► Direct Selective Measurement: A single infrared sensor can be used where coat weight measurement is required. NDC’s infrared sensor measures just the coating layer directly and independently from the substrate layer with its selective measurement technology. ► Combination Measurement: Two sensors are placed on a single scanner after the coater. The selective sensor measures the coating directly while the basis weight sensor measures total mass. The basis weight of the substrate is determined by subtraction. ► Differential or Subtractive Coat Weight Measurement: Two...

Converting Industry-6

APPLICATION NOTE WEB GAUGING Same-Spot Measurement Precisely coordinates the sampling and data collection of substrate and coated product gauges to provide accurate, responsive coat weight measurement by directly linking scanning speed to the process line speed. Accurate measurement is maintained throughout line speed changes. FastStart Fast Start provides an early indication of coat weight during start-up and product changes and is valuable for multi scanner measurement configurations. Once the process lag-time between scanners has passed, the system automatically transfers scanner timing to...
