Basis weight measuring machine Marveloc-CHARIOT

The new 2021 Marveloc-CHARIOT (or shorter the Chariot!) is perfectly suited for new production lines or space-limited retrofits for true thickness measurement. The compact system efficiently measures thicknesses on high-precision mode (material thickness up to 25 mm) or extended-range mode (material thickness above 25 mm). A single measuring head moves across the entire product width instead of the complete frame. With the innovative measuring head and the latest evaluation technology, you can optimize your processes and ensure high production quality. The Chariot platform is equipped by our Marveloc technology, more specifically with our C-Ray or L-Ray sensor. The C-Ray based Chariot machine measures the thickness of thin materials such as plastic films whereas the L-Ray machine version measures thicker insulation sheets, extruded sheets and foams. The Chariot contains a reference roll which is measured by an inductive sensor. Chariot's minimal-effort sensor integration and the moving sensor unit within the fixed machine frame, prove extremely valuable for inline thickness measurement that is cost and space efficient. Chariot offering a single traveling sensor unit The Marveloc-CHARIOT is unique in its simplicity as it offers a single traveling sensor unit. Since only the sensor travels across the product, no additional space next to the production line is required for the Chariot frame to move in or out. Therefore, the Chariot is the ideal solution to retrofit existing plastic production lines. A small footprint and high mechanical rigidity characterize the Chariot, irrespective of product width.
