LaserSpeed encoder provides a more accurate measurement solution over contact-type methods, enabling converters to significantly increase productivity and quality
Beta LaserMike, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, will display the advantages of its LaserSpeed encoder over contact-type measurement methods for converting applications at ICE 2011 (the International Converting Exhibition) booth # 1110. This exposition is located at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida and runs from April through 6 through 8.
“Laser-based length and speed measurements have become the standard measurement technology for many common converting applications,” said Bob Stockholm, Director of Sales for the Americas at Beta LaserMike. “For example, our LaserSpeed encoders are being used in paper, film, foil, and other material converting processes that involve continuous length measurement, cut control, post-cut length, differential speed, and position control, to name a few. As a result of the higher measurement accuracies and tighter process controls, converters are realizing a number of production efficiencies and bottom-line advantages.”
The LaserSpeed system uses advanced, laser-based technology to precisely measure the length and speed of product during production without making contact with the moving goods. This laser encoder projects a unique pattern on the surface of the product. As the product moves, light is scattered back to the LaserSpeed unit. This information is translated into product speed and pulses are produced to determine the product length. Length and speed measurements are captured with better than +0.05% accuracy. Beta LaserMike offers a complete line of LaserSpeed encoders with measurement speeds up to 39,400 ft/min (12,000 m/min), standoff distances to 39.4 in (1000 mm), and measurement depth of field to 3.0 in (100 mm).
Special Presentation at ICE 2011
Beta LaserMike will be giving a presentation at this year’s ICE conference entitled “The Development of a New Non-Contact Laser Gauge that can Measure the Length and Speed of Moving Product with High Accuracy.” The topic will be presented by Les Jensen, Chief Engineer at Beta LaserMike on Thursday, April 7, 2011 – Session 2B -- from 10:30 to 11:00 am.
