Opti-Sizer Upgrades
 

The Taylor Opti-Sizer was introduced at the 1988 IWF Show in Atlanta. Though the original won a Challengers Award that year, new technology in ultrasonics and computers lead us to a major redesign in 1994. Many customers have purchased and installed the upgrade.

It includes:

  • A new control box and computer
  • New self calibrating software
  • New ultrasonic circuitry

The advantages are:

  • Faster operation - 50-100% faster
  • Greater accuracy
  • Fewer adjustments during operations
  • Less down time

In 1997, we built our first 36" wide Glue Applicator to compliment our high production Opti-Sizers. This eliminates the need for the compression conveyor and improves material flow, especially on long boards.

 

History of Opti-Sizers

Model #33A Opti-Sizer#33A-#33B introduced in 1988
The measuring bridge is equipped with two sensors, one pointed up, and the other pointed down.

 
Model #33L Opti-Sizer#33J-#33L introduced in 1989
The measuring sensor is connected to a blue box on the side of the measuring bridge. The individual slots are separated by rectangular metal flags.

#33M introduced in 1994
The measuring sensor is wired directly into the control box on the side of the Opti-Sizer (no blue box). The individual slots are separated by rectangular metal flags.
 

Upgrading to a #33M from earlier models will double the speed of your Opti-Sizer. The upgrade system includes:

  • New control box and computer
  • New self calibrating software
  • New ultrasonic circuitry
