  • Tire and Rubber

WIDTH MEASUREMENT

H3660: The H3660 Line Scan Sensor is an edge, centerline, or width detecting sensor. Using IR light, it illuminates a retroflective tape (reflector), which is placed behind the web. The light returned by the reflector is imaged onto a linear array within the sensor. Any web, that is placed between the reflector and the sensor, is "seen" dark in front of a bright background. An integrated microcontroller analyses the signal from the array and detects the exact position of the web's edges. Depending on the previously set measuring mode, it generates an analog output signal.

H3670: This line scan camera system’s 5150 pixel array provides high resolution, making camera movement unnecessary for varying strip widths. The small remote camera heads require little mounting space, and provide excellent linearity for accurate width measurement.

DSS: North American's digital detector is a non-contact, photoelectric control used to sense the process material edge or centerline in various guiding applications.

WEB SPREADING

Fabric Treating Lines: North American's technical advancements allow fabric treating plants to now consider automation of the fabric center-guiding systems and fabric spreading systems to maximize the uniform quality characteristics.
