Ink Film Thickness Meter

The ink film thickness gauge measures coating thickness using magnetic induction or eddy current principles, and is used for quality control in printing to ensure uniform ink layers, as well as for monitoring coating amounts in packaging and label production.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the probe to the substrate type, ensuring the measurement range covers the expected thickness, opting for a handheld model for on-site operation, verifying the calibration certificate for accuracy, and ensuring environmental adaptability meets workshop conditions.
