AIS Gauging
Founded in 1997 as one of the original American patent holders of web measurement solutions, AIS Gauging is a global leader in inline, non-contact web measurement and automatic process control for flat material production.
Motion Drives & Controls is proud to partner with AIS Gauging, bringing their advanced measurement and control systems to UK customers across a wide range of industries.
Industries & Applications
AIS Gauging solutions serve a broad spectrum of manufacturing processes, including plastics extrusion (sheet film, cast film, biaxially orientated and multi-barrier films), coating and lamination (3- and 5-layer), paper mills (kraft, cardboard, specialty and tissue paper), non-woven & textiles, PVC and rubber calendaring, metal rolling mills, foam, glass, and building products.
Measurement Capabilities
AIS provides one of the fastest and most stable closed-loop auto profile control systems available. Measured parameters include basis weight, coating weight, moisture, thickness, ash content, and multi-barrier layer film. Their extensive sensor technology portfolio covers Beta (Kr85, Sr90), X-ray (5kVâ120kV, transmission, backscatter, fluorescence, dual X-ray), Gamma (AM241), Near Infrared, Terahertz, Laser, Capacitance, Eddy Current, Caliper, Ultrasonic, and Microwave.
Scanner frames are available in industrial O-, C-, and I-frame configurations, as well as mono-beam and multi-sensor arrangements.
Process Control
CD control options include die control (thermal power, thermal temperature, stepper motor/actuator and cascade modes) and gap control. MD control covers line speed, screw speed, extruder speed, and melt pump. For paper applications, headbox, stock valve, and steam valve control are also available.
Key Features
Non-proprietary, off-the-shelf components â no forced obsolescence â easy integration, same-spot measurements, customised approach to every system, and 24/7 online support. Upgrades to competitor systems are also offered.
Made in the USA, and Supported Worldwide.
