Description

The Infragauge 55 Backscatter Sensor is optimized for web-based coatweight and moisture applications to provide maximum signal to noise for the best cross web resolution when scanning. New patented algorithms have been employed to radically reduce calibration effort for both coatweight and moisture measurements and to minimize the influence of the substrate; a single calibration can be used in many cases. Previously unattainable measurements such as silicone coatweight are now possible with Infragauge 55 due to advance in its optical design.

Specific solutions are offered for many applications with pre-calibrated sensors, minimizing user involvement a commissioning and start up, allowing rapid access to the benefits of on-line measurement.

The Infragauge 55 is based upon proven dual detector technology and therefore offers unsurpassed stability, essential for process control. An Auto Reference Standard option allows easy, periodic checking of the sensor performance.

The simplicity of use and minimal maintenance requirements, together with the renowned NDC Infrared Engineering optical system designed for operation in adverse ambient conditions, makes the Infragauge 55 the reliable choice for on-line process measurements.

The Infragauge 55 Backscatter Sensor, based upon selective infrared absorption technology allows single point measurement of moisture or coatweight and therefore offers a simple and cost-effective solution.

The Infragauge 55 Backscatter Sensors can be used in a standalone configuration or interfaced with a user's system. They are also designed to be scanned and integrated with Infragauge Pro, NDC Infrared Engineering's Windows NT based touch screen profile display and control system.
