LASERTHICK 100 is particularly useful for measuring board thickness in a continuous work process where, due to the very nature of the process, a contact system would not be suitable. This is especially true for low density boards or surfaces which are particularly delicate and require maximum care.
Measurement is not influenced by vibration or board undulation if the sensors are mounted on the top and bottom of the beam (TMLD, differential measurement)
Sensors can be mounted on the top of the beam only (TML option) if the board travels along a belt or if there are no particular problems with vibration
Board thickness measured non-stop
Reliable, complete and accurate measurements with good repeatability
Blowers/sprayers to keep the sensors clean
Side measuring heads can be disabled when producing narrow boards
Electronic weight transducers for the weighing scale easily and rapidly installed on the existing conveyor
Incorporated database to store the measurement reports, for statistical analysis and graph printouts
Numerous 3D and 2D graphs available such as: boards produced, pressings effected, average thickness, weight and density, for error search and forming line control etc
Network linking possible with different kinds of PLC (Siemens, Allen Bradley, Beckhoff, etc …) based on different protocols such as TCP/IP, OPC UA, Ethercat, etc
Normally installed after single opening, multi-opening or continuous presses
Advantages
Extremely accurate measuring ability
Quick and easy to install
Simple to use
Low maintenance
Auto-tuning thickness calibration system using a set of sample weights designed by IMAL or on the basis of customer requirements
Self-calibrating system for weighing scale (when present)
