SolveTech’s proprietary thickness gauging technology can be calibrated to measure the thickness or basis weight of plastic film and other nonconductive materials. The technology is highly precise and does not contain any nuclear or x-ray hazards. SolveTech has refined their non-contact thickness sensors over four decades, and the results have created systems that are easy to use, reliable and have market leading performance.
SolveTech’s capacitance based thickness sensors are commonly utilized to measure nonconductive, flat materials such as plastic film, nonwovens, composite materials and more.
We offer both on-line and off-line systems that incorporate these thickness sensors into a turnkey system.
Profile a strip of plastic film to see the uniformity of the material in the cross web or down web direction. This unit delivers the highest level of accuracy and repeatability on the market.
The SC1000 is great for inspecting ceramic tape and some hard-to-measure materials. Simply place the material under the non-contact thickness sensor and get a reading of thickness or basis weight. Sensor shape and the length of the fixture can be customized to match your application.
The MultiChannel™ Array Gauge contains an array of non-contact thickness sensors that are directly adjacent to each other. The result is continuous coverage across the entire web that you are measuring, producing a complete 3D map of the material’s thickness. This is the only device like this on the market for plastic film and nonwoven materials. Great for webs less than 60 inches wide.
The FX2100 allows you to check a single spot on your web. Great for a reference and machine direction gauging. Sizes and footprints are customizable.
