NC-1 Automatic non contact color monitoring and control syst
Features
Automated in-line measures the color of materials continuously and accurately as they move down the production line for improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and minimized downtime
Capable of measuring the color and appearance of opaque, translucent, and transparent products with smooth or textured surface conditions. The system is particularly effective in measuring solid colors and multi-colored materials with variegated, marbleized, or streaked surfaces
Displays the color values and data of products as they're measured and notifies users in real-time when inconsistencies are detected for improved operational efficiency
Quality indicators notifies users through audible and visual alarms when products are close to being out of specification or are completely out of specification, allowing users to take corrective action immediately
Multiple sensors built with up to five optical sensors, depending on the user's application, for measuring the level of evenness across wide webs or frames
Closed-loop process control (optional) integrates seamlessly with manufacturer process control systems to adjust production settings automatically and bring inconsistent products quickly within specification to minimize downtime and optimize operational productivity
Advanced analysis software built-in color analysis software allows users to monitor the color quality of their products directly within the system's control panel or through a PC on a remote network, ensuring color quality standards are being met at each plant site or location
