Belt, Ply, and Extrusion Width Monitor

The Belt, Ply, and Extrusion Width Monitor is a general-purpose width measurement system configured for tire manufacturing components such as fabric plies, steel cord breakers, and rubber extrusions. The system utilizes Starrett-Bytewise line laser sensors. Multiple sensors are pre-mounted onto a steel back plate to form a line array. The system measures component width from the top side and can easily measure components carried on a belt or roller conveyor. No backlighting is required as the sensors have an on-board laser line light source. Systems are complete with an electrical cabinet housing an IPC and touchscreen monitor. Systems are customized according to requirements for minimum and maximum width and accuracy.
