New measurement and control solutions for Industry 4.0 at NPE 2018

NDC Technologies, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, will debut several new and innovative measurement systems at NPE 2018 ready for Industry 4.0 with data integration and connectivity down to the gauge level.
NPE2018: The Plastics Show will take place on May 7-11 in Orlando, Florida.
Visitors to NDC booth W6863 and Beta LaserMike (An NDC Technologies Brand) booth 6963 will get a first-hand view of how the latest gauging solutions for plastic film, sheet, pipe and tube enable plastics manufacturers to produce higher quality products, increase productivity and realize significant production savings. 

Film and Sheet Extrusion Applications
NDC will be showcasing its latest FilmPro infrared gauge for the film, sheet and coating industries. This gauge uses advanced optical techniques to measure a wide range of film and sheet properties with high precision. NDC’s modular FilmPro gauge can measure the thickness of clear, voided, pigmented, cavitated, porous, translucent colored and even black tinted films. The measurement capability of FilmPro also extends to single- or multi-layer products including thin, biaxially-orientated films, cast films and CPE stretch films. It can simultaneously measure the individual thicknesses of up to 6 different layers in co-extruded films. 

The FilmPro gauge will be demonstrated at NPE running on NDC's Mini-Trak O-Frame Scanner and Pro.Net TDi Web Gauging System platform which includes NDC’s latest iView ProTM Operator Work Station (OWS). 

NDC’s new Low Energy X-Ray Sensor is ideally suited for thickness and basis weight measurements of light weight extruded film and sheet products and offers excellent narrow streak resolution. A highly stable, precisely tuned power supply runs at or below 5keV providing high signal-to-noise characteristics and optimum measurement performance.

NDC's new Web Surface Inspection Systems (engineered by R.A.M.) provide 100% product coverage, enabling manufacturers to achieve zero defects. Systems include powerful capabilities to instantly detect, classify, document and record all optical defects across a broad scope of web materials.
