Optical Thickness Gauge

Optical thickness gauges utilize the principles of light interference or reflection to calculate material thickness by measuring the phase changes or reflection intensity of light after it passes through a coating or film. They are used to detect the thickness of transparent or semi-transparent layers, such as coatings and plastic films, and to monitor coating uniformity in production lines or laboratories.
Selection
When selecting an optical thickness gauge, consider matching the measurement range to the sample thickness, ensuring accuracy meets process requirements, and adapting to the material's light transmission characteristics. Pay attention to whether the probe size is suitable for the detection area, the stability and environmental compatibility of the device, the simplicity of the operation interface, and the convenience of calibration and maintenance.
