Guardian-HD Essential Web Profiler

The Process Sensors Guardian-HD Essential Web Profile Analyzer is a single-scanner operation to measure moisture, coat weight, and temperature (optional) for all paper, film, and web-converting processes. It features a Near Infrared (NIR) sensor that connects to a traversing frame that continually scans material across the width of the web for real-time analysis of important quality parameters.

• Advanced functionality for operators to scan multiple constituents
• Reduce start-up times and waste by instantly identifying production inefficiencies
• Record data cross 50 total measurement zones with up to 100 different recipes (products)
• Limit instances of edge curl and lay flat issues
• Lane (move and park) feature allows operator to focus the NIR scanner on specific regions of the web
• Optional Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP/IP interface, or OPC server
• 12” graphical touch-screen display

Features

• Easy calibration, operation, and standardization
• Rugged, sealed industrial frame and linear actuator withstands hot and humid environments common with paper and converting processes
• Automatic edge detection senses roll width to streamline set-up processes, and realigns to accommodate web drift
• Configurations available to monitor and control multiple Guardian-HD systems simultaneously
• Easily connect to closed-loop control systems or local alarms

Benefits

• Minimize edge curl and lay flat issues with 100% real-time inspection of moisture, coat weight, thickness, and temperature of converting lines
• Decrease manual start-up times by 20%, eliminating the need for time-consuming lab testing and adjustments
• Each system can be customized to the width of the web, along with the ability to position the NIR sensor wherever it is needed
