Non-Contact Measurement of Roll and Coil Length

Accurate Measurement of Roll Length even at high Speed

Is your billing based on correct length values? Are all materials measured with same accuracy? Or do you risk length complaints? … The exact roll length should be measured during winding of web or spooled goods. Winding takes place at the end of the production, or when rewinding from large rolls into small rolls, means from mother roll/tambur to rolls with vending length. This may happen at high acceleration and high speed. Contact measurement systems, such as friction wheels, measuring wheels, impellers or measuring rollers, are subject to slippage and wear. The consequences are uncertainty among customers, length complaints and refunds. This can be avoided by the use of μSPEED non-contact length measurement systems, which measure nearly independent of material and surface at any speeds. ELOVIS laser encoders measure their whole lifetime with consistently high accuracy.
