MProbe 70 - inline film thickness measurement
A high-performance inline thickness system based on spectroscopic reflectance and/or transmittance, designed for continuous measurement on 24/7 production lines - from roll-to-roll web to architectural glass and rolled metal.
Overview
MProbe® 70 measures thin films and thick sheets with multilayer discrimination - clear, colored and tinted films; organic and water-based coatings and adhesives. It can measure barrier films such as Nylon, EVOH or PVD simultaneously with other polymers, and coatings on polymer, glass, metal, plastic, semiconductor and other non-porous materials. Typical deployments include roll-to-roll web measurement (film and coating thickness), architectural glass (reflectance, transmittance and color coordinates) and rolled metal sheets (oil or coating thickness).
MProbe 70 Web Pro: roll-to-roll polymer films
MProbe 70 Web Pro is designed for roll-to-roll polymer web thickness measurement using spectroscopic reflectance. Applications include:
- Blown films
- Biaxially oriented films
- Extruded sheet
- Cast films
- Organic and water-based coatings on film substrates, with both film and coating thickness measured
One gauge measures a wide range of thin and thick films and coatings, including clear and colored films and dry or liquid coatings. Multilayer discrimination supports measurement of up to six layers; the product itself can contain additional layers.
Two configurations
- Multipoint - a stationary, multi-channel main measurement system with fiber-optic probes at fixed positions across the line.
- Scanner-based - a measurement head mounted on a scanner that moves continuously across the production line.
The right configuration depends on line speed, the need for complete versus selective inspection, and budget.
Why MProbe 70
- Flexible integration with PC or PLC
- Fast, reliable TCP-IP (1 Gb) communication
- Custom-configured for each application's requirements
- Different models by wavelength, thickness range and measurement speed
- Firmware-embedded data analysis (TFC inside) for exceptionally fast measurement
- Reflectance and/or transmittance spectra over a specified wavelength range
- Optional color-parameter measurement
