Introducing the Dual Channel Terahertz Control Unit

Luna is launching the next phase in its terahertz measurement systems with the introduction of theirDual Channel Terahertz Control Unit (TCU54nm). The new product allows multiple sensor heads to be attached to a single control unit. The TCU54nm will reduce the per sensor cost of deployment, opening new applications that were previously cost prohibitive.

需要在需要高精度，高速测量或耐受性环境的应用中采用太赫兹传感器。与当今行业中使用的其他传感器相比，太赫兹传感器是一种绿色技术，没有核辐射源（β和γ仪表）或电离辐射（X射线量尺寸）。太赫兹传感器为厂家运营商提供了安全的环境，以及制造商的高质量产品。

The new Dual Channel TCU includes several enhanced features to make it even easier to use. The Umbilical, that connects the TCU to the Sensor has been redesigned to be lighter weight, and more flexible. The new lightweight design enhances reliability while increasing stability of the terahertz (THz) signal.

The two sensors can be positioned before and after a coater to measure the basis weight of each layer. The precise correlation between position and measurement allows accurate same spot measurements to be made.

For large diameter pipes, measurement on opposite sides of the product allow real time measurement of the OD, ID, pipe wall thickness and concentricity. If the sensors are placed on a rotating translation stage, all angles of the pipe can be measured.

The terahertz beam is small enough that it can measure both sides of a small tube at the same time with a single sensor. With a dual channel system, two orthogonal sensors can measure the four cardinal points on the tube to allow dimensional control of production.

A calender stack can be controlled with a two-point control for roll runout and the center control can be provided by a cascade loop from the scanning sensor shown below. The high precision of the T-Ray 5000 provides excellent non-contact control of the stack.

On steel cord tire ply calenders, balance above and below the cords is critical to performance. Dual sensors can be deployed to provide on both sides of the ply to provide a measurement of balance and total thickness.

TeraMetrix是currently accepting orders for the new TCU54nm and expects to ship the new units by the end of 2019. For more information on how the Dual Channel TCU can improve your manufacturing process contactterahertzsales@www.lmz-yz.com..
