Roofing lines represent one of the most hostile environments for a web gauging system to operate in. Extreme temperatures and adhesive contamination represent major environmental challenges. Such systems often cannot be accessed or serviced while the line is running, yet are expected to perform with 100% availability. Indev-ACT's extensive process knowledge and systems experience with this application has resulted in the ShingleMaster becoming the roofing industry’s preferred web gauging system. This comprehensive, feature-rich, reliable system includes:
• Enclosed air purge frames with sensor wipes
• Smallest commercially available C-Channel for sensors
• Multi-bearing precision-aligned linear rail & track
• Sr-90 source with continuous temperature compensation
• New powered electrometer for the highest measurement precision
• Anti-flutter measurement capability
• Ethernet TCP/IP-OPC network protocol
• Beckhoff PLC open control system
• EnvisionULTRA 4K HD Operating Software
• RemoteViewTM remote measurement maintenance
• DataMart Server & Cloud-Based data storage, retrieval & reporting
Indev-Act’s extensive sensor portfolio can measure a wide range of important roofing material properties such as porosity, fiberglass mat thickness, felt thickness and paper moisture. Indev-ACT’s unique multi-sensor head configuration allows same-spot quality measurements from different process locations for comprehensive product optimization. The ShingleMaster system is a truly scalable platform that allows the customer to configure an optimum measurement and control solution that delivers increased yield and quality while reducing scrap.
