FE-9 - Width Gauge for Blown Film Lines

FE-9

A width measurement FE-9 directly after the haul-off provides an exact measurement of the layflat width and, in combination with the dosing system and take-off control, an accurate calculation of the average film thickness.

The two edges of the film are detected using two infrared time-of-flight sensors. This innovative sensor technology guarantees high-precision, contactless edge detection of highly transparent all the way to black colored films.

The FE-9 Width Gauge and the CUFE-9 Layflat Control in combination form a self-sufficient width control system and are therefore ideal for upgrading existing blown film lines.

Application
  • Non-contact width measurement and monitoring for blown film and cast film lines
Special Features
  • The measuring bar can easily be integrated into the line control system
  • In combination with the CUFE-9 control panel, it can be used to retrofit existing lines with fixed or rotating die
Technology
  • Edge detection using infrared time-of-flight sensors
