highly customized process monitoring systems to measure temperatures for
control of product uniformity and equipment performance. Our systems meet
specific applications requirements.
GS100 Glass System
The GS100 Thermal Imaging System is an automated temperature measurement
system for glass bending, forming, annealing, and tempering processes.
GS110 Low-E Glass System
The GS110 system is specifically designed to monitor and optimize the
tempering process of one-side coated flat glass and is based on the proven
Raytek GS100 system.
Product Description The GS100 Thermal
Imaging System is an automated temperature measurement system for glass
bending, forming, annealing, and tempering processes. The GS100 measures
a line of 256 points using a rotating mirror that scans a 90º field-of-view
up to 48 times per second. The scanning of a glass part is initiated by
the measured temperature, or an external "trigger" signal. As each heated
glass part traverses the field-of-view, a two-dimensional thermal image
or "thermogram" is formed. The GS100 installs easily, just like a camera,
and views the glass part from above, whenever it has a clear path. Connecting
the pre-wired cables (included) to a PC and entering installation dimensions
in the GS100 Software completes the installation process. The newest addition
to the GS100, the GS110 System for Low Emissivity (Low-E) Glass with automatic
emissivity correction, is designed to monitor one-side coated flat glass.

SS100
Synchron System The SS100 System is an advanced thermal
imaging system for detecting, measuring and classifying thermal features
and defects on the surface of soft calender rolls.
Product
Description The SS100 System is an advanced thermal imaging
system for detecting, measuring and classifying thermal features and defects
on the surface of soft calender rolls. Synchronized with roll rotation,
the Raytek MP50 Process Imager scans the entire roll surface and provides
temperature data independent of roll rotation rate. Contamination on the
surface of a soft calender roll can result in hot spots that can permanently
damage the polymer coating on the roll surface. The rapidly responding
SS100 System continuously monitors the entire calender roll surface and
automatically detects hot spots. When detecting a hot spot, the SS100
System automatically generates an alarm allowing an operator to take prompt
corrective action to prevent costly damage to the calender roll surface.
The SS100 System supports multiple MP50 Process Imagers - each scanning
a segment of a calender roll.

EC100
Extrusion System The EC100 System is an automated surface
inspection system for detecting, measuring, and classifying defects occurring
in extrusion coating, co-extrusion and laminating processes.
Product
Description The EC100 System is an automated surface inspection
system for detecting, measuring, and classifying defects occurring in
extrusion coating, co-extrusion and laminating processes. This system
provides a unique capability for managing the quality of plastic film
extrusion processes. Temperature and viscosity variations in the local
melt streams across the width of an extruder flow channel can cause "wavy";
or "running" edges, gaps, and edge-tears in the extruded film. Using the
MP50 Process Imager, the EC100 System continuously monitors the temperature
distribution and width of the extruded melt curtain to automatically detect
such imperfections. The EC100 system continuously monitors the extrusion
process allowing temperature data to be visualized as a line graph (profile)
and a thermographic image. Profiles and images may be printed or archived
for future analysis.
ES100
Extrusion System The ES100 System is an automated inspection
system for detecting, measuring, and classifying defects occurring in
sheet extrusion, cast film and web process.
Product
Description The ES100 System is an automated inspection
system for detecting, measuring, and classifying defects occurring in
sheet extrusion, cast film and web process. It provides the capability
to define any number of sectors corresponding to specified areas across
the web. Sectors are defined by name, location, and the desired processing
of temperature data within the sector (e.g., average, minimum, or maximum
temperature). In sheet extrusion processes, sectors can be configured
to provide temperatures corresponding to each die bolt. The ES100 system
continuously monitors the web process allowing temperature data to be
visualized as a line graph (profile) and a thermographic image. Profiles
and images may be printed or archived for analysis. Through the use of
OPC (OLE for Process Control), the ES100 system acts as an OPC server
and communicates with many common process control systems. This feature
allows the ES100 to move beyond being just a measurement tool and becomes
an integral part of the total process control system.
TF100
Thermoforming System The TF100 System allows thermoformers
to visualize the temperature distribution of virtually any plastic part
in thermoforming processes.
Product
Description The TF100 System allows thermoformers to visualize
the temperature distribution of virtually any plastic part in thermoforming
processes. The TF100 System features an easy-to-use "point and click"
user interface. It installs easily and views the sheet between the oven
and forming sections from the top. Connecting the pre-wired cables to
a PC and entering installation dimensions in the TF100 Software completes
this easy installation process.
 
Rotary
Kiln Monitoring

Our systems meet specific applications requirements.
CS200
Cement System Specifically designed for kiln monitoring,
the CS200 is a fully integrated solution that monitors rotary kilns to
detect hot spots and avoid costly damage and unscheduled downtime.
Product
Description Specifically designed for kiln monitoring, the
CS200 is a fully integrated solution that monitors rotary kilns to detect
hot spots and avoid costly damage and unscheduled downtime. Optional,
yet fully integrated, accessories extend the capability to include shadow
sensing, burning zone monitoring, tire slip and fan control. Kiln shell
temperatures are monitored along the entire length of the kiln providing
an essential indication of the health of the refractory material. Temperature
data for areas “shadowed” from the main sensor can be provided by individual
point sensors and seamlessly integrated into one complete thermal image.
Optional burning zone and tire slip monitoring [JS1] can be integrated
into the system so that all information is displayed on one screen in
the control room and all events are permanently linked in an extremely
versatile historical data database. To insure reliable operation in even
the harshest kiln environments, the MP50HR line scanner, which is used
in the CS200 system, is designed with a rugged cast aluminum housing and
mounted in a robust stainless steel Environmental Enclosure. The Environmental
Enclosure includes an adjustable mounting bracket to aim the scanner along
the kiln axis, a mounting rail permitting fast scanner installation, quick-disconnect
fittings for air purge and water cooling and an easily replaced viewing
window.
