Sensor system for inline thickness measurements // thicknessGAUGE

Product catalog summary
Overview
The thicknessGAUGE is a compact sensor system designed for precise inline thickness measurements of materials up to 50 mm. It is suitable for various surfaces and materials due to its diverse sensor technologies. The system includes traversing sensors on a linear axis and features fully automatic calibration.

Specifications
The system operates on a 24 V supply and includes integrated software. It is equipped with optical distance sensors aligned for high precision, with calibration performed at the factory. The system supports automatic calibration and temperature compensation to ensure reliable measurements.

Operating Principle
The thickness measurement is based on the dimensional, geometric principle using optical distance sensors on each side of the material. Calibration is based on a DAkkS-certified measurement standard.

System Components
The system includes a linear unit with motor control, a bus terminal box, an automatic calibration unit, and a multi-touch PC with pre-installed software. It supports various customizations such as cable lengths and fieldbus connections.

Applications
The thicknessGAUGE is used in material engineering, energy industry, and metal production for measuring thickness in films, plates, and strips. It supports both traversing and fixed track measurements.

Models and Sensor Technologies
  • thicknessGAUGE C.C: Uses confocal chromatic displacement sensors with a measuring range of 2.5 mm and accuracy of ±0.4 µm.
  • thicknessGAUGE C.LP: Utilizes laser profile sensors with a measuring range of 15 mm and accuracy of ±1.2 µm.
  • thicknessGAUGE C.LL: Employs laser triangulation displacement sensors with measuring ranges of 6 mm and 50 mm, and accuracies of ±1 µm and ±5 µm respectively.


Software Features
The system includes a comprehensive software package for data display, monitoring, analysis, and archiving. It offers various measurement modes and supports statistical process control.

Technical Details
The document provides detailed dimensions, weights, and operating conditions for different models. It also lists standard accessories and available functional extensions, such as digital I/O and encoder inputs.
