Beta Industries in the USA has introduced an instrument whose optical analysis offers repeatable measurement of all critical corrugating production parameters such as flute profile, creasing, and washboard effect. The hand-held device is said to be user friendly and durable - its portability enabling measurement of production parameters "on the production floor or anywhere else".
The BetaCorr Corrugated Analyzer combines structured illumination and automatic image analysis for vertical resolution better than 0.0127mm (12.7 micron) and a field of view wider than 38.1mm, offering extremely high sensitivity to height variations and the ability to measure the coarsest fluting.
Operation is said to be simple and intuitive for the user, with data and images automatically collected and analysed "to satisfy the most critical QC manager".
