Basis weight measuring machine MARVELOC CURTAIN O-frame

Turn-key CURTAIN machines integrate the M-Ray measurement technology for industrial use. The machines are tailored to perform measurements 24/7 as part of an industrial production line. Every CURTAIN O-frame and C-frame contains one or more M-Ray based measuring heads. These sensor heads measure the basis-weight, thickness or anomalies in various flat semi-finished products. Thanks to the nature of the M-Ray technology, the measurement standoff can be as high as 30 centimeters. The high standoff is useful for measuring thick materials and avoids scratches and defects on the material. Instead of M-Ray based Marveloc sensor heads, Hammer-IMS allows for integrating other sensor types (see Sensor Fusion page) into a traveling or fixed CURTAIN system. Hammer-IMS has developed a new mechanical design for its O-frames for Marveloc-CURTAIN inline systems. Thanks to this new slim design, such an O-frame now only has a width of 300mm in machine direction, making it feasible to fit in almost any production line. Even though the frame is now slimmer, the design update was also able to realize a significantly increased frame rigidity, resulting in a further enhanced measurement precision. The frame in the video has been equipped with 4 M-Ray sensor heads, but the Marveloc-CURTAIN inline systems can be equipped with a range of measurement technologies and any number of sensor heads, depending on your needs. CURTAIN O-frame - Robust system for wide production lines The CURTAIN O-frame machine, displayed on the right, consists of a rigid metal frame. The frame is mounted on accurate linear-drive mechanics, supporting high measurement reliability and robustness.
