The SQM package delivers advanced analysis of the surface quality characteristics of any material. WQM provides the same high-performance quality assessments for web formation in nonwoven materials.
SQM can evaluate almost any surface property, using overall surface texture analysis and reporting in real time. This enables process changes to be made to protect product quality, reducing waste.
SQM and WQM both work in the same way, looking at an area of the material and comparing that with what it is supposed to look like, or how it has looked in the past. Results are reported in real-time, using configurable, easily understood terms.
Designed to operate with SmartView
® systems inspecting almost any surface, SQM is used in the
paper,
aluminum,
copper,
steel and
plastics industries, while WQM is specifically optimized for the
nonwovens industry.
AUTOMATED IMAGE RECOGNITION
SQM and WQM use advanced image-processing technology to automatically sort material image samples. In this way the system learns and remembers what different quality levels look like, producing an automatic quality assessment report.
A FIRST FOR WEB QUALITY
WQM provides real-time evaluation of nonwoven web formation for the first time. It can also predict the post-processing properties of the product. Its revolutionary web quality monitoring capabilities enable web producers to minimize cost and maximize price.
SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
Not only is the user interface available in a wide range of languages, SQM and WQM are also configurable to use customer-preferred quality descriptions. For example, material can be labeled from Poor to Outstanding, or assessed on a 1-10 scale
