Recent Sensor Developments Improve Nonwovens Basis Weight Measurements, 1993 Nonwovens Conference Proceedings

Paul Boeckerman, Dr. Phil Hegland

With pressures to reduce costs while improving quality, rollgoods producers are seeking state-of-the art tools to stay competitive. Basis weight measurement, as an “on-line quality lab,” is rapidly becoming a key technology for the nonwovens industry.

This paper describes recent sensor design developments that improve support for on-line lab duties. Stronger signal-to-noise performance allows faster scanning, with better profile resolution. Incremental improvements in other design areas reduce sensitivity to environmental factors while increasing reliability.
