Next level measurement of strip and sheet material
The thicknessGAUGE sensor systems offer precise thickness measurements of strip and sheet materials up to a thickness of 50 mm. Both C-frame systems, which can be easily inserted into the production line, and stable O-frame systems integrated into the line are available.
The flexibility with regard to the materials to be measured results from the different measuring principles on which the sensors used are based. Depending on the version, the models are equipped with laser profile sensors, laser point sensors, and confocal, capacitive, and eddy current sensors. Different measuring ranges and measuring widths are also available. Fixed-position measurements can be performed at the edge of the strips, as well as multi-position thickness measurements, fixed-position center thickness measurements, or traversing thickness measurements.
Adaptations can be implemented quickly and at low cost. With these turnkey systems, inline thickness measurement is very simple and can be performed at an outstanding price-performance ratio. Furthermore, the components are already synchronized, calibrated and temperature-compensated, which means that thicknessGAUGE delivers extremely accurate measurement results.
In addition to powerful Micro-Epsilon sensor technology, it includes comprehensive control and analytical software, a mechanical traversing axis, and automatic calibration. A powerful software package is available via the multi-touch capable panel IPC included in delivery.
thicknessGAUGE 3D
The sensor system for inline profile analysis and 3D measurement of strip and sheet material consists of an aluminum C-frame with two laser scanners, a linear axis for automatic calibration, and a compact bus terminal box. In addition, there is an industrial touch PC with pre-installed software that evaluates the individual profiles of the two sensors and calculates them as a 3D point cloud or outputs them to a controller for further calculations. It is used in battery production, for example, where maximum accuracy is required.
thicknessGAUGE C.LP
Laser profile scanners can be used to measure the thickness of structured materials, but also to compensate for strip tilting and to average profiles. The two optical distance sensors are mounted opposite each other on the frame and detect the distance to the strip material. The difference principle is used to determine the exact thickness value.
thicknessGAUGE O.EC
The thicknessGAUGE O.EC is ideal for plastic strips and coatings. With a sturdy O-frame design, aluminum roller, and integrated control cabinet, it uses the combiSENSOR to deliver measured values with sub-micrometer accuracy and, at the same time, offers high signal stability. The combiSENSOR combines a capacitive sensor with an inductive eddy current sensor.
