Sensor system for precise thickness measurements

 

thicknessGAUGE sensor systems are used for precise thickness measurements of strip materials, plates and sheets up to 25 mm. Several models with different sensor types, measuring ranges and measuring widths enable inline thickness measurements of different materials and surfaces based on an unmatched price/performance ratio.

This fully assembled system comprises a stable frame on which two optical distance sensors are fixed, which detect the thickness of the measuring object according to the difference principle. The sensors are perfectly aligned to each other during the assembly. Furthermore, thickness calibration at the factory enables high precision thickness measurements.

A linear axis moves the sensor system from the parking position to the measuring position. A measurement standard for fully automatic calibration is in the parking position.

Thickness measurement with high precision

thicknessGAUGE sensor systems are used in industrial environments for precise thickness measurements of strip and plate materials. A linear unit with electromechanical drive enables thickness measurements in traversing mode. Alternatively, fixed track measurements are possible for center-line measurements (center thickness) or for thickness measurements on the edges.

 

Powerful analysis and control software

  •  Multi-touch user interface
  •  Article database
  •  Production archive
  •  Statistical evaluations
  •  Limit value monitoring with return back to prodcution (optional fieldbus interfaces)
  •  Verification of gauge/test equipment capability

Automatic calibration & temperature compensation

thicknessGAUGE systems are equipped with in-situ calibration in order to compensate, e.g., for the effects of fluctuating temperatures. The calibration cycles are individually adjustable. In addition to temperature compensation, in-situ calibration enables proper functioning of the system to be verified cyclically and at any time.

100 % quality control during production

The thicknessGAUGE sensor systems are used in strip processes and plate production in order to measure the thickness continuously. Based on high precision and equipped with intelligent sensor technology, these sensor systems are used in various industries.
