The Honeywell Basis Weight Sensor is a sophisticated instrument designed to precisely measure the mass per unit area (basis weight) of a product on a moving web. It typically operates using the principle of beta absorption, where a radioactive source emits beta particles, and a receiver measures the reduction of those particles as they pass through the sheet material. This reduction is directly correlated to the basis weight. The unit is often part of a larger Quality Control System (QCS) and is mounted on a scanner that moves the sensor back and forth across the product's width to provide a comprehensive cross-directional and machine-directional measurement profile. Key design features often include a shutterless, rotating source body and minimized air column for enhanced signal integrity.

Product Specifications (Typical Range)

Basis Weight Range: Typically from $16 \, \text{g/m}^2$ up to $1200 \, \text{g/m}^2$ or more, depending on the model and application.
Source to Receiver Head Gap: Often around $10 \, \text{mm}$ (0.4 inches) or minimized to optimize signal strength.
Measurement Spot Size: Generally a small diameter, such as $17 \, \text{mm}$ to provide high-resolution measurements.
Response Time: Extremely fast, potentially as low as $1 \, \text{ms}$ , enabling high-speed control.
Repeatability: Excellent, with 2-Sigma repeatability often better than $0.03 \, \text{g/m}^2$ for lighter weight products at a specified integration time.
Principle of Measurement: Beta Absorption, using application-matched source isotopes.

Product Advantages

Superior Accuracy and Repeatability: Achieved through state-of-the-art beta absorption technology, high beta flux levels, and effective compensation for environmental factors.
Enhanced Control Performance: Fast measurement response and high resolution facilitate superior cross-directional (CD) control of the manufacturing process.
Environmental Compensation: The minimized air column and patented Full Range Standardization effectively reduce the influence of variations in barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity on the measurement.
Insensitive to Product Characteristics: Beta sensors are uniquely advantageous as their rate of absorption is not significantly affected by the product's color, texture, or state of matter.
Rugged Industrial Design: Engineered for reliability and continuous, high-precision usage in demanding industrial environments.
Operator Safety: Features a shutterless, rotating source body to maximize safety for personnel.

Precautions

Radioactive Source: Due to the use of a low-level radioactive isotope (beta source), strict adherence to all local, national, and international safety regulations and licensing requirements for radioactive materials is mandatory.
Calibration and Maintenance: Regular calibration, standardization, and maintenance by trained personnel are essential to ensure long-term accuracy and reliability.
Sensor Gap Cleanliness: While the design minimizes the effect of contamination, excessive dirt or material buildup in the source-to-receiver gap must be avoided to maintain optimal performance.
Integration: Proper integration with the scanner and the overall Quality Control System (QCS) is critical for accurate operation and control.

Product Applications

The Honeywell Basis Weight Sensor is a core component in continuous process industries that produce sheet-like materials. Its primary applications include:

Paper Manufacturing: Measuring the basis weight of various paper grades, from fine paper to packaging board.
Plastics and Films: Determining the mass per unit area for plastic films, sheets, and other polymer-based materials.
Nonwovens and Textiles: Quality control measurement for nonwoven fabrics and certain textile products.
Metal Foils: Monitoring the thickness or weight of thin metal foils.
Process Optimization: Used in closed-loop control to automatically adjust machine settings, minimizing product variation, reducing waste, and improving overall product quality and line productivity.
