Real time,
high accuracy measurement of monofilament diameter and
opacity online - for a broad range of fibre types. Able
to measure 1 to 1000+ fibres simultaneously in one plane.
A version for measuring up
to 500 fibres.

Monofilament measurement - Up to 50,000 measurements
per second
OFDAMF is a technology that allows
rapid, high resolution of the diameter and opacity of
1 to 1000+ fibres online measurement of the of monofilament
fibres. OFDAMF is based on intelligent image analysis
of a line scan digital video sensor to greatly improve
accuracy over previous laser and shadow based technology.
Software is provided to enable
recording of data and trending information of the monofilaments
as they are produced. Upper and lower diameter limits
can be set to give an alarm allowing correction to be
made to the process before a large amount of fibre is
wasted.
