Optical Thickness Gauge

Optical Thickness Gauge

Fiber optic spectrophotometer non contact measurement of coatings and films - Laboratory and On-line

Finally, an affordable spectrometer system... and it's easy to operate. This gauge uses advanced design and proprietary software to easily and accurately measure the coating thickness of both clear and translucent materials. The system's fast acquisition speed (10 ms) allows coating thicknesses to be accurately measured in the laboratory, or in-process.

Simple...

This Measureitall product has been specifically designed to effortlessly measure the thickness of thin films deposited on a variety of substrates or stand alone thin films. Its exclusive design and software allow for a wider range of measurements than any similar system. And, frequently it can successfully make measurements where other optical systems have failed.

MEASUREMENT OF:
  • Clear films
  • Translucent films
  • Clear coatings
  • Translucent coatings
  • Adhesive layers
  • Coatings on copper foil, paper, steel, aluminum and more
  • Silicone coating on paper
  • DLC (diamond-like carbon) layer thickness
  • Oxide on Silicon
  • Nitride on Silicon
  • Photoresist on Silicon
  • Lacquer Coatings
  • Varnish on printed sheets
  • Hard coatings
  • Dry or wet coatings
  • ... and more
The "Standard" film thickness / coating thickness gauge includes the sensor head, spectrometer, light source, fixture stand, fiber cable, and Windows® based software. This custom software has been meticulously designed to allow non-technical operators in production environments to operate the equipment. You won't need a PHD to take a simple measurement. Just follow a few simple steps.

Technology Features...
  • Non-contact: Optical measurement, non-destructive, and without a radiation hazard!
  • Fast: measurement and film thickness within milliseconds!
  • Measurement Range: Largest stand-off available - up to 10 mm!
  • Thickness Range: 0.5 to 150 µm ( 0.02 mils to 6 mils), 225 µm (9 mils) is possible in some cases.
  • Accuracy: better than ± 0.1 µm over the entire range!
  • Maintenance-free: no moving parts!
  • Easy to Use!
Scanning / ON-line Systems...

Film Thickness Measurement on Web Coaters: Scanning of moving webs is a snap due to the gauge's large measurement range and its ultra quick acquisition time (10ms min.). Because if its speed, it captures true measurements without "smearing" the data. With the addition of our manual or automated scanning frame this gauge can easily measure large samples or a moving web in both the down web and cross web direction. Our data capture and display software presents the film or coating thickness to the operator in both graphical and numeric formats.

This is a multipurpose coating thickness gauge and a film thickness gauge, all in one. To demonstrate its unique measurement capability, we successfully measured one of the most difficult constructions available... ultra thin coatings on copper foil. No other fiber optic gauge has been able to measure coatings on rough surfaces with a high degree of light scattering. Our proprietary algorithms and advanced design allow us to measure materials on highly reflective AND on many rough surfaces. Please see below.
