Optical Filament Diameter Gauge

Operating Temp: -20 °C to +70 °C

100% non-contact orthogonal dual-axis optical gauging system for precision extrusion lines. Sub-micron accuracy, true ovality monitoring, zero physical deformation, and zero line drag.

  • 100% Non-Contact Metrology: Zero deformation on flexible/warm polymers, zero mechanical wear, fully immune to abrasive CF/GF composites.
  • Orthogonal Dual-Axis Tracking: Simultaneous 90° X/Y profile acquisition eliminates single-axis blind spots and false-roundness readings.
  • Micron-Level Precision: 0.001 mm resolution with ±0.003 mm accuracy and ±0.001 mm repeatability.

Single-Shaft Industrial Shredder

Operating Temp: -20 °C to +70 °C

Benchtop single-shaft shredder engineered for technical polymers and composite scrap reduction. 52 RPM high-shear cutting, 40 Nm torque, and full SS316 stainless steel cutting core.

  • Direct-to-Extruder Regrind: 4.0 mm tooth pitch produces uniform ~4 mm flakes that drop directly into desktop extruders.
  • Surgical-Grade SS316 Core: Full CNC/laser-machined SS316 stainless steel resists corrosion and abrasive composite wear.
  • 52 RPM / 40 Nm High Shear: Low-speed rotation eliminates thermal softening, keeping polymers cold to preserve properties.
  • Ultra-Quiet Benchtop Profile: < 65 dB acoustic signature under full load, suitable for desktop lab environments.
