Card Infeed Density Measurement for Fiber Processing

Card infeed density measurement provides real-time monitoring of fiber distribution before carding, enabling immediate process adjustments. This ensures consistent material feed, reduces fiber waste, prevents downstream processing issues, and maintains uniform product quality throughout production runs.

M-Ray technology offers contactless measurement without radioactive sources, eliminating safety concerns and regulatory requirements. It provides multi-kHz sampling rates for dynamic environments, maintains accuracy regardless of material color, and delivers precise measurements while seeing through opaque materials to detect hidden irregularities.

Yes, Hammer-IMS measurement systems are designed for seamless integration with existing production control systems. Our solutions provide real-time data feedback for closed-loop process adjustments, support standard industrial communication protocols, and can be customized to meet specific automation requirements.

Our measurement systems support production line speeds up to 500 meters per minute. The multi-kHz measurement rate ensures accurate density monitoring even at high speeds, capturing variations that slower systems would miss and enabling effective process control in demanding production environments.

The multi-sensor platform provides comprehensive coverage across the entire card width, detecting local density variations that single-sensor systems miss. This enables identification of specific issues like uneven fiber distribution, helping operators pinpoint and correct problems quickly to maintain consistent product quality.

Yes, our M-Ray technology works effectively across various fiber types including natural fibers, synthetic materials, and blends. The system maintains consistent measurement accuracy regardless of material properties, color, or composition, making it versatile for diverse textile and nonwoven applications.

Hammer-IMS measurement systems are designed for minimal maintenance. The contactless technology eliminates wear from physical contact, the robust sensor head design withstands industrial environments, and the non-nuclear approach eliminates calibration and certification requirements associated with radioactive measurement systems.

ROI typically materializes through reduced material waste, improved product consistency, decreased production downtime, and optimized process parameters. Most customers experience measurable benefits within months through waste reduction alone, with additional value from enhanced quality control and operational efficiency.
