LINEMASTER™ MSCHINE DIRECTION GAUGING SYSTEM

The first measurement system dedicated to downweb
quality and diagnostics. Monitor and characterize.
Study and diagnose.
Flat-Out Excellence - make it yours.

The LineMaster™ has the latest in capacitive head design, simple plug-and-play interface and advanced web diagnostic tools that are easy to use. It uses the power of the PC (desktop or notebook) with none of the hassles potentially caused by interface boards. That means it is compatible with your LAN (local area network). The data files are Excel™/spreadsheet compatible, which allows you to make custom reports and do further analysis as required.

LineMaster™ Benefits and Features:

  • Reduce variability and hit target thickness
  • Get strategic information: Provides you with quantifiable and analytical information about key items such as average thickness and variations around this thickness.
  • Use as a primary or auxiliary system: As an auxiliary system, the LineMaster™ can supplement scanning, nuclear gauges, provide up-to-the-minute monitoring of your process and production in the downweb direction with incredible speed and precision. Data display and analysis functions - including correlations - provide you with the means to identify and solve your most challenging Machine Direction problems like never before. For narrow web or dual point applications, the LineMaster™ also makes an ideal primary gauging system.
  • Get high speed and unmatched precision

System Includes:

  • CL Series Measurement Head:
    Provides a thickness reading of the web, in from the edge, past any edge effects. The head's capacitance-based technology means unbeatable speed, unmatched precision and none of the worries associated with nuclear gauge technology. Your choice of measurement head gives you flexibility in building your system. You can determine collection points and head sizes to optimize the data stream while keeping your system affordable and portable.
  • Gauge Interface Adapter: Provides plug-and-play simplicity to the system. This sophisticated interface funnels data acquisition and is the hub for all user connections. There are no controls to worry about, just two simple indicators.
  • LineMaster™ Software package: Analysis (max/min, mean, standard deviation, FFT, histogram), Set-up (menu driven with Save and Restore for all set-up parameters), and Excel-compatible data files. Computer not included.
  • Secondary Input: You can correlate your thickness variability to another measurement head or another process variable.
  • Associated cables and power cords
