Web Width and Sleeve Measurement System

BST International has introduced a closed-loop web width measuring system. BST ProTouch integrates BST’s CCD Pro cameras into a web/process management system capable of complex automated applications such as web width measurement, splice control and tire manufacturing. BST ProLogic is for use on extruders, slitters, printing machines, and other converting machinery. It provides continuous graphic display of the actual web width and, when integrated with the exruder, it can provide a complete closed loop web width measurement and control system.
