NON-CONTACT LENGTH MEASUREMENT OF PAPER

Non-contact length measurement of paper refers to the use of various technologies that can measure the length of paper without physically touching the material. This is essential in paper manufacturing and printing industries to maintain accuracy, prevent damage, and ensure a smooth, high-speed operation. Our Astech Germany Make VLM500 Sensor can measure this speed and length of Paper in contactless manner. A laser beam is directed at the paper’s surface, and the sensor measures the time it takes for the reflected light to return. Based on this motion frequence, the sensor calculates the length and speed of sensor.

Advantages

  • High precision and accuracy.
  • Works well in high-speed applications.
  • Fast and suitable for continuous monitoring.
  • Can work in various environments without direct contact with the paper.
  • High-speed operation makes it ideal for large-scale production.
  • Effective in environments with dust or other particulates.
  • Non-invasive and does not affect the paper.
  • Works across various materials with different textures.
  • Non-contact and safe for delicate materials.
  • Good for thin or transparent paper
  • Can be highly accurate in stable conditions.
  • Effective for applications requiring high precision and quality control.
  • Suitable for measuring length in real-time during high-speed processes.

Benefits of Non-Contact Paper Length Measurement

  • No Physical Wear: Since the measurement system does not touch the paper, there is no wear or potential for contamination.
  • High-Speed Monitoring: Many of these systems can operate at high speeds, which is crucial in industrial paper production.
  • Precision: These systems offer high accuracy and can detect minute changes in paper length, which is vital in quality control.
  • Automation: Non-contact length measurement can be integrated into automated systems, reducing the need for manual measurement and increasing efficiency.

Applications

  • Paper Manufacturing: To ensure precise rolls or sheets of paper are produced to the correct length.
  • Printing: To ensure the paper used in printing is of the correct size.
  • Quality Control: To measure and control the length during the production process to avoid defects.
  • Packaging: To ensure paper materials used in packaging meet specific dimensional standards.
