Maximize Material Usage, Minimize Waste: The New Laser Length Measuring System

Posted by admin on June 18, 2012

In today’s material handling industry, many companies are taking steps to make their work processes more efficient.  Whether it’s for the environmental benefits or to get ahead of competition, the pressure of going green is ever present.  As a result, material handling businesses around the world have been working to come up with business strategies to produce material with as little waste as possible. 

The new BSI Laser Length Measuring System has been a good addition to these efforts in that it maximizes material usage through its ability to make more accurate and consistent cuts. This measuring system uses laser technology to first verify the length of the material to be processed.  From there, the laser will detect the material and send overall dimensions to an easy-to-read control panel.  The operator can then move the material – with the help of powered roller conveyors – to the correct length for cut off.  Once positioned in the correct position, the material is cut and the cycle repeats. 

This new laser measuring system eliminates time-consuming manual measuring and wasted materials due to human error, ultimately making material handling processes more efficient and less harmful to the environment.
