UNISENSE: Advancing Quality Control Across the Converting Industry
Accurate, continuous online measurement of basis weight and thickness is essential for ensuring process stability, material uniformity and consistent quality in Roll-to-Roll (R2R) manufacturing, in sectors such as web materials (films, foils), and laminates within the converting industry, as well as battery & fuel cell production, automotive, semiconductor, consumer electronics and packaging.
UNISENSE is the MARPOSS MESYS product platform that provides effective, reliable and safe online and offline basis weight and thickness measurement solutions.
The UNISENSE portfolio is designed to meet various requirements, specializing in measurement control not only for basis weight but also for moisture and thickness. Each model is crafted to address specific industry needs. Thus, we developed and designed our products for both industrial environments and laboratory, to make sure that each one of them is optimised for its intended setting.
UNISENSE is available in several configurations, each of them with ATEX Certification:
- Standard shaped O-frame or C-frame, single horizonal scanning sensor;
- Smart O-frame for OEM’s machine PC-PLC integration;
- Slim O-frame where there is limited space in the machine line;
- Portable UNISENSE-GO device with lightweight construction.
A rainbow of solutions for the converting industry, ranging from standard materials to the most specialized applications, ensuring quality, efficiency, and sustainability throughout the entire supply chain.
R – R2R process: coating, calendering, extrusion, composite and lamination. UNISENSE monitors your production with in-line control in real-time, measuring wet and dry web material using ultrasonic waves. By delivering real-time process data, UNISENSE helps manufacturers reduce waste, optimise material consumption and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
A – Accurate: high accuracy and unmatched repeatability. Accurate measurements start with material homogeneity, which is essential to ensure outstanding repeatability and reliable process control.
I – Industry Converting: optimise processes collecting and visualizing data coming from your production, thanks to OPC-UA standard. Our sensor technologies offer clean and safe solutions, requiring no special permissions for use.
N – No Radiation: say goodbye to Beta or X-Ray radiations! UNISENSE radiation-free measurement system offers safe non-invasive, non-destructive, and non-contact inspection capabilities. With our clean sensor solutions, you can achieve precise results without the risks associated with radioactive methods.
B – Basis Weight: we are pioneers in the converting industry quality control systems, introducing a spectrum of revolutionary solutions that redefine excellence. With a proud history of innovation, we are credited as the first company to strategically adopt ultrasonic technology in this field, a groundbreaking contribution to the industry.
O – Organisation: Marposs group infrastructure (a global network of over 80 offices in 34 countries and more than 3,200 employees) ensures customers receive unmatched support and solutions, designed to anticipate future industry challenges.
W – Web Materials: UNISENSE measurements are not affected by material chemistry or colour. Ultrasonic technology facilitates real weight measurements, ensuring user-friendly application across diverse materials. Complex calibrations are no longer needed! UNISENSE offers a patented auto-calibration process, which is both simple and non-material dependent.
