Limit   

Diameter and Wall Thickness measurement and control

 

Diameter measurement

The Logic800 and extrusion line can be upgraded to include a laser gauge and program to display the product diameter, and if required provide closed loop control of either the extruder, haul off or vacuum calibrator.

 

Wall thickness measurement

A further option would be to include and ultrasonic scanner to measure the wall thickness. This is then shown graphically on the Logic800 display, and again a control output can be provided to vary extruder or haul off speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Limit Diameter Measurement

Consists of a micro diameter measuring head using laser optics. The head measures across two planes without contact with the product.

The use of solid state laser and telecentric F-Theta optics ensures high accuracy, resolution and stability and a repeatability of 0.0003mm

 

 

Limit displays values in a unique format which gives an instant indication of the product dimensions and tolerances.

 

Alarm outputs are provided to warn the operator of an out of tolerance product, and in extreme conditions stop the production.

 

 

 

Limit Wall Thickness Measurement

The wall thickness is measured by an ultrasonic scanner, using water as the transmission medium for the sound energy.

The scanner uses 4, 6 or 8 transducers, measuring the wall at a number of points around the circumference, giving concentricity measurement.

The Logic800 and Limit will process and display product dimensions, and control process machinery.

Limit can include a variety of closed loop control functions, all based on specific inputs.

Additional full  3 term output modules can be fitted which can directly and very precisely control a wide variety of machinery or processes. 

 

In the case of diameter measurement only these output modules can be used to control extruders, haul off's and vacuum calibrators, automatically maintaining diameters within the correct limits. For wall thickness control the output modules will control either the extruders or haul off.

Analysing the

data produced by the limit program can be essential.

 

The Logic800 can provide SPC analysis but for really powerful data processing Logistic and Logician will provide all the graphical and statistical data you require and present it in a number of professional reports

Ultrasonic scanners have a large number of parameters which need to be set up before producing a new product.  These parameters are typically polarity, propagation speed, nominal wall and upper and lower limits, etc, etc.

Setting these parameters can be time consuming. Limit stores all necessary set up parameters with the recipe for each product.  When a recipe for a product is loaded all these parameters are sent automatically to the scanner control program.  This reduces set up times considerably and significantly reduces the possibility of error.
