Automation Industries Corporations solution for Gypsum Board Process' starts with the accurate generation of a true cross machine profile. For this purpose we have developed two types of frames to house our digital laser heads. As stated earlier, there is no difference in performance. The only difference is in where they will fit.

When space permits we use the wet transfer area as the location for our system. The open ended ACCU-SCAN frame is built to place our digital lasers over the product and allow the board to move under it in the cross machine direction (this is not just a couple of lasers and some software! It is a complete system). The system also has the ability to automatically retract from the line for calibration at user-defined intervals. The system uses a differential measurement to generate the profile shape. With our sophisticated computer and Perception Series V software it is possible to display variations from target for the panel as a whole and for the front and back separately. The system can also display the face taper in degrees and in thousandths of an inch increments. The unit also contains a display for variation from target for tapers as well. All information is real time.

Where space is at a premium, AIC builds a Scanning "O" Frame that can be equipped with one; two, or three scan zones. Once again, we want to stress that this is not meant to be an upgrade. There are lines out there that simply don't have any room around them. The more scan zones we have the smaller the stroke becomes making the over all size of the unit more compact. The biggest difference is that one unit lets the production flow do the work while the other uses a precision stepper motor to drive the heads across the product.

As always the performance of our products is guaranteed. Both ACCU-SCAN models are guaranteed to be with in +/-0.0025" over an eight hour period with out recalibration. Our digital laser heads are second to none. They are FAST, ACCURATE and, ROBUST. Their average life expectancy is eleven years and counting. One more thing, they don't cost a fortune to repair. We have an over the counter exchange program that usually gets to you the next business day.
