Weight Sensors
Accurate weight measurement is crucial to controlling product quality and minimizing raw material costs.
Overview
What Is It?
Weight sensors measure the total mass of material in a sheet to determine its average weight per unit area, as well as the uniformity of mass distribution throughout the sheet.
How Does It Work?
Weight can be measured using several different sensor technologies, which are chosen to match the nature of the material to be measured. Nuclear isotope and x-ray sensors are typically used for medium to heavy materials such as writing papers, board, plastics, and metals, while infrared sensors can be used for lightweight sheets like tissue. The measurement principle is that the weight of a sheet is proportional to the amount of radiation, or infrared energy, it absorbs.
What Problems Does It Solve?
High resolution, and accurate, weight measurement is the cornerstone for Experion MX supervisory quality control. Measurements can also be sent to the cloud based QCS 4.0 solution for advanced monitoring, analysis, and further Quality Control System optimization.
