PROBLEM: Frequent product changes
Market needs require product changes several times a shift. During product change over, previous method was to run some product, remove a sample panel, hand mike, make process adjustments, repeat as necessary to get to size and finally run. Result, up to one hour of down time, during each product change over, unreliable adjustments and scrap which must go to the landfill.
SOLUTION: UAI thickness gages and Measuremate software
Automatically measure without contact at consistent points, print report of sample panel, set true product mean target, make process adjustments and run. Down time reduced to 15 minutes and scrap to landfill reduced by 75%.
