CFA-Lite (for in-line monitoring)

This system to be used in-line for carbon fiber production quality monitoring.

• Width sensor: Via optical micrometer width sensor
• Fiber Width: 25mm maximum
  (*) Please consult Izumi International, Inc. if wider rages are required.
• Speed: Max 10m/min
  (*) Please consult Izumi International, Inc. if higher speeds are required.
• Filament breakage sensor (optional): Thru beam type fiber optic sensor
  Minimum filament diameter detection is 0.007mm diameter.
  Operator interface: HMI provides real time reading of fiber width in mm.
• Data acquisition: System records data to a USB data stick to enable viewing of logged data via PC after
  data collection.
• Electrical: 110VAC single phase
  (*) Please consult Izumi International, Inc. if other voltage is required.
  NEMA12 or equivalent rated enclosure.
• Mounting: Mounting brackets per customer requirements can be configured.

CFA-F (for off-line monitoring)

This system to be used for off-line carbon fiber analysis. Purpose of use could include quality control,
research and development, customer process simulation, etc. The systems are configured to requirements,
therefore all units are custom designed.

• Width sensor: Via optical micrometer width sensor
• Fiber Width: 60mm maximum
  (*) Please consult Izumi International, Inc. if wider rages are required.
• Speed: Max 10m/min
  (*) Please consult Izumi International, Inc. if higher speeds are required.
• Let Off Creel: Feedback tension controlled with tension sensor and electro-magnetic brake.
  Standard tension is 2.0-19.0[N] control range via 20[N] capacity tension sensor.
  Auto-traversing let-off maintains fiber width intact from original package.
• Feed Rollers: 2-7 roller systems depending on tension requirements
• Take Up Winder: EKTW-C type carbon fiber take up winder for max. 250mm dia package.
• Options:
  • Multiple tension zones for testing fiber under different tensions: each zone is controlled by a feed
    roller and PID tension control
  • Polycarbonate enclosure to contain the fibers
  • Gap detections in the fiber
  • Filament breakage sensor (multiple if required)
  • Other components can be added as required.
• Operator Interface: PC based control system with self-standing enclosure
• Data Acquisition and Controls: Data logging to Excel style spreadsheets for analyzing
• Control systems available: Allen Bradley or Siemens
• Electrical: 220VAC three phase, 400VAC three phase
  (*) Please consult Izumi International, Inc. if other voltage is required.
  NEMA12 or equivalent rated enclosure.
