Equipment Automation Control:  The Model 4000 AutoTrack™ Control System was developed to facilitate the complete automation control and inspection of our Edge Mount Splice Detection solutions.  In the past, customers were responsible for mounting our SDT technology with the reliance that operational staff would, upon deckle (web width) changes, adjust the SDT too  the correct inspection position.  History has shown that this function may be overlooked allowing some roll production to be processed without splice detection monitoring.  The Model 4000 has taken this function away from operational staff thus enabling complete automation of the inspection and web material monitoring function.  As a result, no splice and/or tearout will get through to shipping.  The Model 4000 uses sophisticated technology to monitor the material edge and track the material edge where wander may occur.  The Model 4000 uses state-of-the-art web break detection and time delay sequencing to ensure our SDT technologies are moved offline when needed and back into correct inspection mode when required.  No operational intervention is required.

Monitor All Materials:  The sophisticated electronic edge tracking sensors will monitor any material substrate from clear plastics to opaque papers.  The precision guides which house the electronic tracking sensors are designed such that they will act as web stabilization arms where product material may have baggy edges or extreme web flutter thus eliminating the possibility of any false signal from being generated.  Operation of the unit is completely automated and requires low voltage as its primary power source thus reducing energy requirements and making the overall process very efficient.

Automatically Adjust To Changes:  The sensing arm will automatically adjust to deckle changes and upon "edge finding" will monitor and track the web throughout the process to ensure the Splice Detection equipment is always within specification relative to inspection location.  Each sensing head is self-compensating and self-aligning allowing the detector to automatically adjust to changes in the type or caliper of web material.

Use with any edge mounting inspection system:  Our Model 4000 AutoTrack can be used with any edge mount inspection device whether it is one of ours, a competitor or something entirely different.  Thus, in cases where competitive sensors are applied, the Model 4000 AutoTrack can be implemented to ensure proper sensor position is maintained on or off line.   Our state of the art web break sensor positioned center of web is interconnected such that upon web breaks or deckle changes the unit will automatically retract offline to facilitate material threading procedures.  Upon completion of threading, the Model 4000 AutoTrack will move the inspection sensor into correct inspection placement thus providing 24/7 performance while eliminated human error, especially upon deckle changes.
