Proscan MasterTrak Overview
Specification

The Proscan MasterTrak is a complete on-line thickness or width measurement and control system. Using a non-contact measurement technique to measure the thickness or width profile of continuous or piece products as they are being produced. When used to measure the thickness the system can be supplied either to measure single or multiple points across the width of the product. The MasterTrak is capable of measuring accurately on materials such as soft, fragile, abrasive and many other types of product, where traditional contact methods have proved not to be effective. Even in industries where traditional contact methods have been used successfully the Proscan MasterTrak offers a more reliable measurement with less maintenance. Proscan MasterTrak is a real time thickness or width monitor, displaying absolute dimensions to the process line operator. In addition, the system logs every measurement, enabling detailed statistical reports to be produced. The Proscan MasterTrak has the option available for proportional feedback control for automatically regulating the process to maintain the correct dimensions.

Features/Benefits

  1. Real time numeric and graphic display of thickness or width
  2. On screen pre-alarm and alarm condition indication
  3. Measurement results archived to database
  4. Dynamic proportional process control via increase & decrease output channels
  5. Product library
  6. Statistical summary report
  7. Productivity database
  8. Multiple Input & Output interfaces
  9. Single or multiple track versions
  10. Improved Quality: The Proscan MasterTrak will become an important part of your quality control system ensuring 100% dimensional logging and control
  11. Low Maintenance: Because the Proscan MasterTrak has no contact with the product very little maintenance is required
  12. Cost Saving: Reducing scrap, manning and better control of the process will result in significant cost saving. Typically the investment in the Proscan MasterTrak will be recovered in just a few months
