Thickness Quality Monitor

Overview

The Altec Thickness Quality Monitoring System is a high performance on-line non-contact measurement system that provides real-time thickness and sheet width measurements in industrial manufacturing processes.

Typical applications include Veneer, Planer Board, Plywood and OSB manufacturing. The system uses high precision lasers to provide real time thickness trending as well as thickness and width distribution histograms.

Configurable automatic reporting provides a permanent record of the plant’s performance. The system’s real time functionality and alarming allows manufacturing personnel to detect product quality problems before defects cause product downgrading or customer returns.
