Tailored Measurement Solutions for Calendering Applications

Nordson offers a complete range of non-contact gauging solutions for measuring coat weight in adhesive calendering applications. Our advanced gauging systems accurately measure adhesive coatings using a single-sensor, single-sided scanner configuration, which is both compact and cost-effective.

Alternatively, multi-scanner systems can be configured for on-line scrim and polyethylene processes. These can measure the coat weight directly off the calender roll or indirectly using differential weight sensors when direct measurement is impossible.

Nordson web gauging systems can be configured for most all vinyl calendering applications and provide a complete range of non-contact measurement and advanced control solutions for both flexible and rigid vinyl calenders.

Nordson advanced calender controls can be used to both rapidly start up the calendering process and help optimize product quality. These controls include:

- dual-gap control;
- cross-axis control;
- windup width control;
- speed feed-forward control automatic target optimization.

We're confident our measurement systems for vinyl calendering can bring superior quality and productivity to your manufacturing operations.
