Thickness / Width
There are many methods available to measure thickness and width. Although systems with two sensors are common, measurement with one sensor is possible if the position of one side is pre-determined or the target is transparent.
Detection methods differ according to the measurement conditions, and sometimes special arrangements can be made. Contact your nearest sales office with any questions.
Confocal Reflection Method
CL Series
Thickness measurements are preformed using two sensors to sandwich the target. With a transparent target, the thickness can be measured directly with a single sensor on either side.
Key Points for Selection
- High-accuracy non-contact measurement of various target materials and colours
- Measurement maintains accuracy even with target warpage or tilt
- Simple measurement setup thanks to dedicated jigs and installation support functions
Confocal Displacement Sensor
CL-3000 Series
Triangulation Reflection Method
LK Series
Thickness measurements are performed using two sensors to sandwich the target. With a transparent target, the thickness can be directly measured through exposure from only one side.
Key Points for Selection
- Non-contact thickness and width measurement of large targets when using long-range sensor heads
- High-speed sampling for inline, total-length inspection
- Target selection not determined by transparency/opacity or colour.
Ultra High-Speed/High-Accuracy Laser Displacement Sensor
LK-G5000 Series
Optical Thrubeam Method
TM Series / LS Series
Thickness measurement is performed by measuring the height of a target as a step height relative to a reference surface.
Point of selection
- Measurement possible at multiple locations simultaneously
- Highly stable
High-Speed Optical Micrometer
LS-9000 Series
Contact-Type
GT Series
Thickness measurements are performed using two sensors to sandwich the target. The contact-type system allows for highly accurate measurement.
Point of selection
- Target selection only determined by solidity
- High-precision measurement possible
High-Accuracy Digital Sensor
GT2 Series
