Rubber Calendering

NDC Infrared Engineering offers a range of solutions for Calendering in the Rubber Industry. Our full range of sensors enables sheet measurements on:

  • Gum (innerliner) Calenders
  • Textile (fabric) Calenders
  • Wire (steel cord, metallic) Calenders 

For on-calender measurements, an X-ray backscatter (XRB) or a laser sensor can be mounted in a scanning configuration for fast and repeatable measurement. The GBS gamma backscatter sensor has a small footprint and can be mounted in a fixed point configuration. Also available in fixed-point mode are contact eddy-current sensors to directly measure thickness.

For post-calender scanning profile measurements, NDC recommends beta sensors for total weight, laser sensors for thickness, and XRB and X-ray transmission (XRT) sensors for wire calender measurements.
 
Calender systems are available with effective controls, including: 3-zone control (dual or single gap, cross-axis or roll bending); Automatic target optimization (ATO); Windup weight control; and Delta presets.
 
Along with the advanced features of TDi (Total Distributed Intelligence) this comprehensive range of sensors, scanners, measurements, controls and platforms allows NDC to offer complete capabilities in the measurement and control of calendered processes to bring products into specification faster.
