MULTICHANNEL
ARRAY GAUGE™
Measure
Thickness, Uniformity, and Weight/Unit Area
 Fast
The MultiChannel Array™ Gauge provides extremely fast response,
allowing it to sense even brief, transient web variations. Having
an array of channels makes true profile and product mapping available
for the first time.
Accurate
Quick response features combined with proprietary Measurement Head
design allow the MultiChannel Array Gauge™ to provide 100%
continuous coverage with excellent accuracy. Accuracies typically
range between 0.1% and 1%, depending on the application.
Real-Time 3D Web Views
The
MultiChannel Array Gauge provides multiple fixed points across
the web. The measurement areas are usually contiguous
and provide complete coverage with no scanning. The high
frequency response allows complete data on your web.
Radiation-Free
Our dielectric-based technology means fast, accurate measurements
without the environmental or regulatory concerns associated with
nuclear gauges.
Coverage
The Multichannel Array Gauge employs a "C" frame design
that can measure web widths up to 36". Array elements are
contiguous, thereby providing total coverage.
The
Multichannel Advantage
| Downweb
vs. Crossweb |
With
non-scanning systems, it is possible to get a true profile of
your product. Fancy algorithms are not needed to separate downweb
from crossweb variations. |
| Full
Coverage |
The
full coverage allows you and your customers to have a complete
quality picture on every roll. |
| High
Speed of Measurement Response |
With
an array gauge, speed is limited only by sensor response - which
means that you can have speeds that are thousands of times
faster than ever before. |
| Improved
Monitoring and Diagnostics |
A
natural consequence of improved frequency response and full
coverage is improved monitoring and diagnostics. High speed
analysis of product and process are now possible. |
| Improved
Process Control |
With
a non-scanning system, channels can be placed on 1 inch centers
and give continuous feedback. |
| Fewer
Moving Parts |
In
scanning systems, the scanning frame itself constitutes a major
portion of the system. Associated problems, such as alignment
and wear, are eliminated with non-scanning systems. Result:
improved reliability and lower maintenance costs. |
| Underlying
Technology |
Capacitive measurement is based
on the dielectric response of your material. Along with eliminating
the regulatory difficulties that arise with nuclear gauging,
this technology provides a variety of other benefits that makes
that Multichannel concept possible. |
| Research
and Development |
The
many new capabilities created by this technology are an important
asset to those involved in innovative process and product development. |
