100% inline thickness measurement of strip and sheet materials

The thicknessGauge systems provide highly accurate thickness values for strip and plate materials. In addition to the C-frame models, they can also be integrated into the production line as an O-frame version. By using various sensor technologies such as laser scanners, laser triangulation sensors, confocal sensors and electromagnetic combination sensors, they can be adapted to the measurement task and the object surfaces to be measured.
