EMG iTiM-4

Non-contact thickness measurement for fully automated process control Fast measured value output, short integration time, high accuracy The laser-based thickness measurement system EMG iTiM laser stands for a multitude of possible applications. The highest measuring accuracy and reliability is provided by the X-ray transmission measuring method. When using this method, the X-ray source and detector are arranged on opposite sides of the material to be measured. The non-absorbed part of the X-ray radiation provides the basis for a precise thickness measurement, where material-related influences...

Safety feedback through double signal closure EMG iTiM iso The principle of isotope measurement The isotope transmission method is the third in the series of EMG measurement methods. Here, the isotope source and detector are on opposite sides of the material to be measured. The isotope emits a constant gamma or beta radiation, which is limited to a defined form due to the built-in collimator. The part of the radiation that is not absorbed or scattered in the material to be measured enters the detector through the provided entrance window. The ionisation of the gas in the ionisation chamber generates...
