Automatic Thickness Control System for Extrusion Coating Line
SHIM (Sumitomo Heavy Industries Modern) produces the Smart Flipper T-Die. In fact, the Smart Flipper is an automatic thickness control system that features a T-die. Additionally, the Smart Flipper has a pneumatic lip forming mechanism. Thereupon, further enhancing the dimensional accuracy, stability, and productivity. Therefore, the correcting T-die for extrusion coating line and cast film/sheet production line brings together our extensive knowledge and high-level control technology.
- Feedback control via thickness measurement
- Instant response to correction commands
- Faithful reproduction of preset parameters
Smart Flipper Feedback System
Smart Flipper T-Die
The T-die incorporates a pneumatic lip forming mechanism that instantly responds to film thickness signals and automatically corrects thickness.
Smart Flipper Features:
▌ High Responsiveness
A pneumatic-driven lip adjusting mechanism instantly responds to thickness correction commands, drastically shortening the time normally required for corrections.
▌ Stability
The heated environment does not affect the pneumatic drive. As a result, the thickness is always consistent.
▌ High Reproducibility
Unaffected by external factors, the Smart Flipper delivers high reproducibility. Namely, for holding the preset production parameters. Specifically, by calling preset configurations from memory. Regardless of the parameters.
▌ High Accuracy
For example, high-performance accrues by the molding of heat-dependent resins. Such as the profiles that require a high degree of precision.
▌ Low Energy Demand, Low Cost
The Smart Flipper runs on an air source of 0.7 MPa and air loss is extremely low, making it an economical tool for efficient production.
▌ Clean
The Smart Flipper does not require any working fluids and helps users to keep the production environment clean and healthy.
