Measurements for the Plastic & Rubber Industry

The plastics area requires all kinds of measurements. Whether on final products such as motor vehicle tires, during the production of different compounds in the extruder or already previously during the manufacture of different pellets and additives. The thickness of the product itself is frequently measured instead of displacements and distances. On the other hand, distances and temperatures on the production systems are often measured. 
Micro-Epsilon offers a wide range of sensors and solutions for non-contact measurement of plastics production. Dimensions, thickness, temperature, colors and embossing patterns in roll or sheet form can be reliably measured in a wide range of process steps from extrusion via molding to further processing.
