Gauging Control

Wide range of gauging solutions for film, cast and flat sheet extrusion.

• Gauging solutions according to end product
• Capacitive, Inductive and NIR Near Infrared Technology
• Precision inline measurement

SkYmex– Capacitive Gauging System

• Ideal applications: all blown film applications, excluding barrier products.
• Mono and co-extrusion applications.
• Capacitive technology (contact / non-contact options).
• Three stage telescopic arm (patent).
• Rotating system and encoder band 360° – know position at all times.
• Encoder band = belt free motion = significantly less maintenance and better accuracy.
• Ultrasonic distance sensor automates telescopic arm setup – ensures gauging consistency.
• Available for bubble diameters from 100mm up to 9m.

CombYscan – Capacitive & Inductive Gauging System

• Ideal applications for blown film: sticky films, agristretch film and barrier film.
• Ideal applications for flat dies: sheet, extrusion coating.
• Mono and co-extrusion applications.
• Excellent for both color and transparent products.
• Inductive / capacitive technology.
• Ideal for barrier film and sensitive film.
• Measurement of total thickness – from 10 micron up to 4.5mm.
• Layflat width from 500mm up to 3m.

OptYscan – NIR Near Infrared Gauging System

• Ideal applications for blown film: barrier film, battery separator film.
• Ideal applications for cast film: Stretch, barrier, CPP and battery separator film.
• Ideal applications for Biax Extrusion: BOPP, BOPE and BOPET film.
• NIR Near Infrared sensor – back scatter application.
• Ideal to install on flat film or chill roll applications.
• Absolute gauge – no need to change parameters or filters when changing type of film.
• Measurement accuracy 0.1 micron.
• Web width from 500mm – 10m.

RaYxscan – X- Ray Gauging System

• Ideal applications for blown film: barrier film, battery separator film.
• Ideal applications for cast film: Stretch, barrier, CPP and battery separator film.
• Ideal applications for Biax Extrusion: BOPP, BOPE and BOPET film.
• Ideal application for extrusion coating and lamination.
• X-ray source. Source below ≤ 5Kva – therefore reducing safety risk and eliminating need for independent inspections.
• Accurate measurement – down to 0.02 micron.
• Easy installation and maintenance.
• Web width from 500mm – 10m.

ShadYscan – Laser Gauging System

• Ideal applications: foam sheet & calendering.
• Mono and co-extrusion applications.
• Gauging by laser shadow – non-contact.
• Measurement not affected by color, transparency or material composition – better accuracy.
• Easy access for periodic maintenance.
• Thickness up to 10 mm.
• Width from 500mm to 3m.
