Catalog excerpts

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. > Economical concept to increase productivity while reducing scrap, saving resin and improving product quality Օ No contact with film, therefore no scratching On-spec film thickness improves print consistency Օ 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 > Օ This device measures the film at the edge of lay-flat film The film glides through the spacing between two electrodes without making contact Օ 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 Օ 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 >
