Zasch Plastic Thickness Gauge BTG 3000 Overview

Design and Construction

The sensor is designed on a large volume pressurized ionization chamber coupled with a highly stable electrometer amplifier. The scanner is built on rugged steel structure free from deflection and misalignment to ensure precise sensor positioning. All linear motion system components are CNC machined to precise alignment for long service life. The frame is an enclosed construction to shield all mechanical and electronic components from ingress of dust and corrosion. The scanner is linked with the operator station through a high speed serial link. The operator station has a PC (Personal Computer) architecture with industry-standard hardware and software which allows for easy upgrades and local support throughout the world. The operation is through touch screen for easy and efficient operator interaction. The standard displays provided are cross-web, machine direction profiles, trends, product recipe and roll reports. SPC charts are available as an option.

Controls Options

  • Machine Direction control through Line speed / Extruder screw speed control
  • Cross Direction control through
    • Die Bolt heating control
    • Roll Bending control
    • Cross Axis control.
    • Roll Gap control
    • Coating Knife/ Blade control

1Technical Specifications
The measuring principle is based on the attenuation of Beta/X-ray radiations emitted by a source as it passes through a material. The thickness /basis weight is determined by sensing variations in the energy radiated by the source of known intensity. The measurement is continuous On-line and therefore useful as feedback for automatic control.
