ACCU-SCAN Profiler - Open End Model

 

 

ACCU-SCAN O-Frame Model

For more than twenty years we refused to sell a C-Frame gauge. We still refuse to do so. The problem being is regardless of the mass of the structure the frames expand and contract with temperature and humidity to the extent that ACCURACY is impossible to control.

For whatever reason, it took us a long time to understand the problem. Once we did, we designed an open-ended frame that is as stable as ANY of our welded O-frame designs. The design is revolutionary! It is also one of our most closely guarded secrets. It is NOT a welded C-frame!

The ACCU-SCAN frame is capable of holding all three models of our laser heads. When properly matched to the product being monitored the unit has the capability to scan cross machine profiles of panels, rubber and plastic extruded shapes and, various wet processes such as Fiber Cement, Gypsum Board and, Gypsum Fiberboard. The ACCU-SCAN system is a natural fit on any continuous process line. The frame is also capable of accommodating our Ultrasound transducers and has been installed on a production line configured as such.

The ACCU-SCAN frame has also led to our latest joint venture with IMEAS Industrial Machine. IMEAS came to AIC because they needed an on-line gauge to monitor the out-feed of their sanders. They knew that contact wheels and fixed point systems could not give their customers the information they needed. The ACCU-SCAN system can.

AIC has incorporated precision drives into our components for many years. The ACCU-SCAN unit can be driven on-line in the cross machine direction to provide a very high data density, allowing, accurate reconstruction of the products' cross sectional profile.

Here is the best part! In many cases an ACCU-SCAN system actually cost less than a fixed head system while, providing more meaningful data. We at AIC feel this is the most significant development in the Process Control Industry in years. Click on the industry links to see various applications of this exciting technology.
