Sustainable thickness gauge for plastic film and sheet
Contactless and sustainable profile measurement of all common cast films and extruded sheets
The thickness of cast films and extruded sheets is an important quality parameter thermoforming companies. Non-uniform thicknesses waste materials and reduce quality. Hammer-IMS offers measurement systems sustainable measurement systems:
- They are contactless;
- They are sustainable: no-xray, no beta radiation, no license needed, just radio-waves!
- Future-proof: compliant with the EU's vision to downsize the use of nuclear sources;
- One signal sensor for thin films and for thick sheets;
- Precision of 1 micrometer for thickness measurement over a broad thickness range;
- Have high stand-off distance (about 30 cm), reducing chances of scratching and avoiding sensor contamination or overheating;
- Works on all materials: PET, PETG, PVC, PC, PP, PE, PS, PMMA, ABS, HDPE, LDPE, PA;
- Featuring cutting edge M-Ray technology based on millimeter waves;
- Unique multi-sensor approach enables high all-time coverage of the sheet;
- For both yield maximization and quality control for your extrusion tasks, as for input control for thermoforming lines;
- Simple visualization of thickness profile for each tuning bolt;
- Feedback to an automated die as an option;
- Maintaining performance for all additives (colors);
- Easy-to-use state-of-the-art software environment;
- Available as turnkey installations and optionally interfacable through Profinet or TCP/IP;
