Position Monitoring System - Paper Log Eccentricity

Paper Log Eccentricity Application

American Industrial Metrology offers precision non-contact position monitoring solutions. The systems measure linear position of machine components or product surfaces without the error created by mechanical clearances and backlash. The systems utilize high-precision triangulation Laser Displacement Sensors. The high-speed sensors measure the distance to a surface target. This distance is used to calculate the position of the diameter of a roll or log. The live displacement data is transmitted via a wired connection to the Display Unit processor. The data is processed to calculate machine position or other configurable position measurements.
 

AIM’s Paper Log Eccentricity System measures the outside diameter of a log of paper using two precision laser displacement sensors. By monitoring the precise position of the outer surface of the log as it unwinds on each end of the log, the relative eccentricity or diametric difference can be accurately calculated. The live displacement data is output to a digital or analog signal which can be connected to the customers control system. The display unit is housed inside an aluminum case or can be custom mounted in most operator panels. This system provides safe, real-time monitoring of the process with the ability to store and trend the data.

The position monitoring solution can be applied to a wide variety of applications. Contact AIM today to put our creativity and experience to work for you.
