Insight into multi-shift systems
Measuring layer structures with terahertz technology
(PresseBox) - Modern packaging solutions for food aim to ensure a longer shelf life as well as the protection and freshness of the products - while minimizing the carbon footprint. The growing demands on packaging systems are leading to increasing complexity, which is reflected in multilayer films. These multilayer systems are not only found in food packaging, but also in various technical applications such as coatings and products from multi-component injection molding and coextrusion.
A crucial aspect in the production and control of multi-layer systems is the precise monitoring of the layer thickness in order to ensure the desired functionality and quality. However, the measuring systems used to date are often destructive, time-consuming and cost-intensive.
In this context, terahertz technology opens up new horizons. It uses electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz range, which achieves a high resolution and accuracy in coating thickness measurement. The non-contact, non-destructive and non-hazardous nature of this technology means that terahertz signals reflected from different coatings can be compared with known physical effects. This allows precise statements to be made about the thickness of each individual layer, with an accuracy in the micrometer range.
