Advanced Photonix API, the leading supplier of terahertz
systems to industry, announces today that it has sold two systems under a
development agreement with Appleton Papers Inc. Appleton Papers is a specialty
coating developer and manufacturer of thermal, carbonless, security and
specialty papers. The two systems will be initially deployed on a pilot
manufacturing line to provide inspection and quality control of current and
newly developed coated products. The goal is to transfer these units to
full-scale production equipment once the quality objectives have been
demonstrated. The ability of terahertz energy to perform various critical
measurements, replacing nuclear gauges, for the paper industry was verified by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and
production testing was performed at Appleton Papers' plant in Appleton,
Wisconsin. The wide frequency content and high precision of the Advanced
Photonix terahertz industrial system allows measurement of caliper thickness,
density, basis weight and coat weight, and can be used to monitor the quality
of the product being produced.
