New NDC sensor provides fast, accurate sheet measurement

April 5, 2018
This high-resolution gauge measures the thickness and basis weight of products such as sheet, stretch film, flexible packaging, battery separators and nonwoven materials.

Low-energy X-ray sensor This high-resolution gauge measures the thickness and basis weight of products such as sheet, stretch film, flexible packaging, battery separators and nonwoven materials. Its highly stable, precisely tuned power supply provides a high signal-to-noise ratio. It comes in three versions: The high-resolution 312B-XN-L is appropriate for most measurement applications; the ultra-high-resolution 312B-XN-L is designed for calendered products; and the ultra-low-noise 312B-W-L is suited for nonwovens and thin films. It can scan up to 20 inches per second.

What's new? The sensor.

Benefits High reliability and fast, accurate measurements. The sensor can measure a wider range of weights and thicknesses than comparable isotopic gauges. Because the gauge is non-nuclear, regulatory requirements are minimized. The low-energy X-ray requires minimal shielding, and presents no radiation hazard when powered down.
