Improved quality and efficiency: An inline control check of pipe-wall thickness during extrusion enables the optimization of the production process. Early in 2018, we supplied a newly developed pipe control system to a global market leader, marking a milestone in the history of coating thickness measurement.
In addition to non-contact coating-thickness measurement of multi-layer paint coatings, recent developments in wall-thickness measurement during the pipe extrusion process have proven to be a promising application for terahertz technology. Our inline measuring system enables the customer to test the pipe-wall thickness directly after the extrusion of the plastic and to readjust the settings so as to optimize the production quality and efficiency.
