Scanning Gauge and Control System for On-Line Basis Weight or Thickness Measurement

Model 6100TC

The NDC Infrared Engineering Model 6100TC is a powerful, modular gauging and control system for on-line measurement of thickness or basis weight of web products.

Description

The Model 6100TC is designed for continuous measurement and display of crossweb product profile. The system features rugged industrial design for mission critical applications requiring maximum "up time." NDC's utilization of touchscreen technology, coupled with a 32-bit microprocessor and advanced sensor technology makes this the most comprehensive, easy to use and reliable system available. The model 6100TC features a high resolution color CRT with touchscreen control interface for ease of use and understanding unmatched by other systems. The operator can access all functions of the system via the touchscreen, i.e. scanner control, target settings, recipes, alarms, reports, auto control setups and profile display selections.

Features

• IEEE Standard Bus Architecture
• Mission Critical Industrial Design
• Real Time, Multitasking Operating System
• Compact, Rugged
• Touchscreen Interface
• Displays in 14 Languages
• Product Recipes Stored in Non-Volatile Memory

Displays and Reports

The color CRT continuously displays real-time thickness or weight-per-unit area while the operator selects from among different display screens. Depending upon the application, there are several reports and displays available for operators and management.

Typical Displays

• Last Scan Profile
• Composite Scan Profile of 1-N Scans
• Machine Direction (in-line) Profile
• Trend Data for  Scans or Time
• Histogram

In addition, there are several displays for viewing and setting system parameters, such as recipe constants, scanner variables, communication protocol and auto control tuning constants.

Typical Reports

• Job
• Roll
• Shift
• Hourly

Any report or display can be printed out automatically (end of roll, end of shift, etc.) or upon demand.

Sensor Technology

NDC specializes in the development of advanced sensors that are unique in the marketplace, characterized by their small size and exceptional stability. The 6100TC works with the following:

• Gamma Backscatter (GBS)
• Near-Infrared (NIR)
• Beta Transmission, employing:
• Krypton (Kr85)
• Promethium (Pm 147)
• Strontium (Sr90)
• X-ray Fluorescence
• Caliper-Laser Triangulation

Scanning Frames

The 6100TC system controls a single scanning frame, selected based on application requirements:

• "TF" Series: for Single-sided GBS, IR and Caliper  Measurements
• "O" Frames: for Beta Transmission, IR and Dual-sided Laser Caliper Measurements
