Tackle Web Guiding and Edge Control with CrossCheckTM
Bytewise Measurement Systems explains why CrossCheckTM Laser Profile Sensors (http://www.BytewiseSensors.com) are perfectly suited to monitor and control web based materials and extrusions. One or two laser profile sensors can be used to measure web width and thickness as well as provide height based feature tracking and edge guiding. CrossCheckTM will drastically improve the precision of operators using Micrometer snap gages to measure thickness online. The line laser based technology measures flat sheet and extruded products like rubber, plastic, wood, composite materials, PVC and metal. It requires no reflective tape, LED arrays or back lighting, like camera based systems that require cleaning and maintenance to keep operational. The system can also measure shape-based parameters like thickness, step height, width, angle, radius, location, gap and depth. The affordable CrossCheckTM 3D laser measurement system is used by R&D, Engineering, Production, Quality and Maintenance personnel to validate product dimensions and tolerances. Academia and R&D facilities use CrossCheckTM for product development and material studies like soft material and parts with profiles that can’t be effectively measured by hand calipers.

Call an Economic "Audible" With a Midbrook Rebuilt Parts Washer
Even in a slow economy, businesses have to move forward. Automotive suppliers are faced with a difficult challenge – optimize their equipment to produce the parts that automotive makers will need in the future, but without the large budgets available in more robust economic times. Often these changes necessitate that a supplier invest in a new parts washing solution (http://midbrook.com/equipment/parts_washing) to make sure their product is satisfactorily cleaned.
