S Y S T E M O V E R V I E W For the past 10 years Capacitec has been working closely with leading global manufacturers of labels, tapes and films to develop a system to precisely measure slot die coater gaps. The new system has made dramatic improvements over traditional gap measurement methods achieving coater gap uniformity better than 10 microinches (0.25 microns) across the full length of the coater die. The new non-contact capacitive gap measurement solution includes sensor wands, special wand holders, and signal conditioning electronics and software. Kapton® style Thin Gap Wand Composite...

I N S T R U M E N T A T I O N / S O F T W A R E INSTRUMENTATION The dual sensor wands are combined with a matching Capacitec 4000 series instrumentation package that consists of an electronic rack, signal conditioning amplifiers, power supply and cables. The 4000 series Capacitec amplifiers and racks were designed to offer the best signal to noise ratio and wide band width response options in a simple modular package. When coupled with Capacitec sensor wands the electronics produce a linear output voltage of 0-10.000VDC proportional to the gap. Amplifiers come standard with 232Hz, -3dB frequency...
