Length measuring system FE-8

infraredfor film

The FE-8 Measuring bar is a non contact width measuring system for blown film lines. Two infrared sensors detect the edges of the film, so that the layflat width can be calculated. The advantage of this method is that the real film size that goes on the roll is measured. That makes the FE-8 a valuable tool, also on lines where the bubble circumference is measured, as this is typically before the bubble shrinkage. The Powerbox is the interface to either the FE-8 display unit or the control system of the line. Application: The FE-8 Measuring bar is a non contact width measuring device for blown film lines.
