IR Sensor Reduces Defects in Coated Products

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 DUSSELDORF, GERMANY | Honeywell introduces an infrared-sensing technology designed to help packaging makers significantly reduce defects in their coated products, as well as reduce the amount of raw materials used to produce them. The Reflectance Infrared Spectrometer (RIS) uses proprietary array detector technology to provide the industry’s highest resolution and the broadest IR spectrum range, which allows mills to achieve unsurpassed quality by measuring multiple components of coatings, even on reflective or printed substrates.

The total solution helps producers more accurately measure and control multi-layer or barrier coatings and adhesive layers, discriminate components with very similar spectral characteristics, measure on printed and reflective backings, and quantify variations in additives and fillers such as Ti02 and CaC03. This approach can reduce defects by up to 15% and raw material usage by up to 8%, the company reports Additionally, the calibration tools is also said to save time by cutting the calibration effort by up to 40%.
