Accurately measuring the length and speed on continuous slab, billet and bloom casters has been very difficult due to a number of mechanical system challenges, such as heat, scale build-up and the deterioration of mechanical parts.…
So what is Terahertz sensing you ask? Well, it's a sophisticated technology that uses high-energy physics (in the electromagnetic spectrum) to perform high-precision, immersive measurements not capable by a single-sensing technology. And it's a solution we offer here at NDC Technologies.…
National Tin Can Day was recently celebrated on January 19. Patented in 1810, Tin cans became one of the greatest inventions revolutionizing the preservation of food. The humble tin can used today actually contains no tin. Many cans today are made of aluminum or other treated metals. And these cans are used to package everything from fruits, vegetables, soups and soft drinks to lighter fluid. Did you know that NDC's measurement solutions play a role in helping metal can manufacturers produce products better and more cost effectively?…
More than ever before, converters are being pressured to deliver higher quality products faster while continuously reducing production costs in order to remain economically competitive. But this is not so easy if you're using a contact-type measurement system to control the length and speed of web-based products. A contact gauge with inaccuracies as much as 2% can cost your organization a significant amount of money in unnecessary expense due to product give-away, waste, maintenance and system downtime.…
Many industries are looking for innovative ways to reduce costs, lower the weight of products and reduce overall energy consumption.…
Understanding the savings and cost structure of why you should move from a contact-based measurement system to a non-contact length and speed solution is critical if you are to accurately project improvements and realize a total cost of ownership (TCO) and investment returns.…
Over the years, non-contact laser length and speed technology has gained a wide acceptance in a broad scope of industries. In businesses where customers buy by length, it’s important that the…
