Film Thickness Measurement Instrument

The film thickness gauge measures the thickness of films through contact or non-contact methods, commonly utilizing principles such as ultrasound, laser, or mechanical probes. It is used to monitor the thickness uniformity of materials like plastic films, coatings, and paper, ensuring stable production quality.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range should cover the sample thickness, and the accuracy must meet the process requirements. Contact methods are suitable for soft materials, while non-contact methods are used for fragile surfaces. Environmental adaptability, calibration methods, and data output functions should be matched to the usage scenarios.
