SINGLE CHANNEL GAUGING SYSTEM

Custom, Single Point Gauging Systems
Designed for thickness monitoring and control on webs that have non-conductive properties (plastic, paper, ceramic tape, and nonwovens). These systems are ideal for:

  • Narrow web products
  • Machine direction monitoring
  • Control-based on edge reading
  • On-line inspection/defect detection

High Performance
Our many years of R & D provide you with important performance advantages. Among these are:

  • High Speed – 0.01 seconds
  • High Resolution – Up to 4 microinches (0.1 microns)
  • Excellent Linearity – Better than 1%
  • High Measurement Stability

The Gauge that Started it All
The Single Channel Gauging System is based on SolveTech's first generation of gauges. In 1986, systems were developed to test variability in thickness on polyester film lines. SolveTech went on to enhance the first commercially viable, double-sided (parallel plate) capacitance gauges. This technology brought significant new levels of performance in accuracy and speed, along with the concepts of user-definable measurement footprints and gaps.

Heads Galore
Only SolveTech can provide you with a wide range of customized head geometries. All heads are C-Frame construction. Design variables include:

  • Throat depth – up to 24 inches
  • Gap – up to 1 inch (0.2" typical)
  • Footprint size and shape – from 1/8" square. Up to 4" x 5" (1" x 2" typical)

System Overview

  • Measurement Head: Non-contact and non-nuclear
  • Gauge Control Unit: Provides power and signal conditioning for Measurement Head with large, 1" digital readout. Alarm controls and calibration set-up.
  • Head Positioning System (optional): A linear slide and associated controls. Automatically positions the Measurement Head for measurement or moves it off line for start-up operations. Automatically re-zeroes the gauge head at a programmed time interval. This feature is especially important for high-accuracy applications.
  • Software Package (optional): Bring the enormous value of your PC into the picture with our Windows-based software package to provide you with Strip charts, Trend charts, Statistics, Roll reports, Recipe and calibration management, and more.
