Equipped with innovative calibration technology, Micro-Epsilon’s "thicknessCONTROL MTS 8202" supports different physical measurement methods in a C-frame construction. Depending on requirements, the user can select between capacitive technology, confocal, triangulation sensors, or laser line triangulation. The latter offers significant advantages, particularly with respect to the frequent problem of tilted and rippled test objects in the strip metal field. With a correction procedure system developed by the company, precise thickness measurement with micrometre precision is possible, even if the target is tilted. The integrated calibration technology can prove the precision of the system at any time in less than a second, allowing easy monitoring of the test equipment for quality management purposes. Due to its modular design, the series enables damaged sensors to be replaced easily at any time, even in harsh industrial environments, without having to disassemble the whole system. It is used for measuring the thickness of strip materials such as metal, plastic or wood, as well as materials in sheet form. These materials can be up to 500mm wide and up to 50mm thick. In order to measure the entire width of the material, the C-frame can be extended with the aid of linear axes to provide traversing thickness measurement systems. The CSP2008 universal controller and an IPC-based solution with a comprehensive software package for visualisation, documentation and remote support are available as analytical tools.
