Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has updated the C-frame version of its thicknessGAUGE series of inline thickness measurement systems for precise thickness measurements of strip materials, plate and sheet. A complete ‘out-of-the-box’ solution for thickness gauging and quality control, the system offers precise measurement from ±0.25 µm and fills the gap that currently exists in the market between basic thickness sensors and high performance, dedicated inline thickness measurement systems.
The thicknessGAUGE measurement system from Micro-Epsilon is suitable for both offline and inline thickness gauging and is available in several versions that use one of three different sensor types – laser triangulation, laser profile or confocal chromatic sensors. The flexibility of technology selection from Micro-Epsilon’s own portfolio of sensors ensures optimum results are achieved based on the surface type, material to be measured and the performance requirements of each customer. The system also offers different measuring ranges and measuring widths to suit a wide range of applications.
Sensor performance upgrades
The thicknessGAUGE C-frame versions have a new look and enhanced performance. All C-frame systems have been converted to the next-generation high performance Micro-Epsilon sensors. In addition, new measuring widths up to 600 mm are now available for all C-frame systems. The integrated linear axis now provides an additional 100 mm travel path for each C-frame model. The existing thicknessGAUGE C-frame models (C.L-10, C.L-25, C.C-2 and C.L-8) remain available in widths of 200 mm and 400 mm.
