Flex Feed
Flexfeed system is a calendar feeding control system working with thermographic IR cameras. It provides stable and reliable information about the amount of material between calendar cylinders. The different IR emissions between the molded plastic and the cylinders provides a clear image of the amount of feeding, no matter the type or color of material being produced.
It is able to work in direct connection with the feeding system to control the amount of feeding as well as its left-middle- right distribution.
Flexfeed includes some useful additional features like the temperature distribution on the surface of molded plastic that can help to ensure better handling on the first step of film production. The system backs up continuously a simple AVI file, with one image every 2 seconds, that provides access to all monitored production 24hours a day for one year.
