Minimize Raw Material Costs Using the COVIDIS

With current oil prices skyrocketing, the costs of raw materials for almost all industries are growing by a substantial amount. Any form of daily wastage in extrusion plants and metal cutting applications due to improper lengths of single products or an entire bundle, could result in rejection and can add up to a large sum over the course of a few months. Using a non-contact length sensor with error of less than 0.05% can help keep the wastage to a minimal level. The COVIDIS series of non-contact length and velocity sensors from INTACTON can help you achieve just this. Unlike standard Laser Doppler Sensors the COVIDIS sensor system is designed for non-contact length and velocity measurement during dynamic velocity changes of the process. Our customers can save a great deal on cut to length applications like in roll forming by avoiding the initial wastage of material during acceleration. Also further efforts are saved in quality tests done for different velocity profiles. With the rising price of raw materials, the return on investment of the COVIDIS sensor is increasing every day.
