Accurate Thickness Measurement of Package Materials - 1

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Materials Package materials come in various types, including metal, non-metal, glossy and nonglossy options. They can be single-layered, complex, or co-extruded. Thickness is an important factor affecting both cost and productivity. Thinner materials are generally less expensive and allow for faster production. Thickness testing is essential for quality control. Several types of thickness testers are available, including laser, capacitive, eddy current, and mechanical testers. Each has limitations. Non-contact testers may not work for all materials, while mechanical testers can be used for a wider range of materials. Mechanical thickness testers use a precision sensor to measure the displacement of a presser foot contacting the material. They are accurate but require a lab environment to avoid errors caused by temperature and wind. The Labthink C640 Thickness Tester is a high-resolution mechanical thickness tester.

Accurate Thickness Measurement of Package Materials - 2

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 There are two main challenges in designing mechanical thickness testers: controlling the pressure of the presser foot and ensuring parallelism between the presser foot and the anvil. Flexible package materials can compress when pressed. The tester must apply the correct pressure according to the testing standard. Different standards specify different pressures. Failing to meet these requirements can lead to inaccurate measurements. The presser foot and anvil must be parallel and the presser foot movement must be perpendicular...
