AcuSpec WL Thin Film / Coating / Adhesive Thickness Gauge Sensor Coating Thickness Gauge & Thin film Measurement System Optical, non contact, intrinsically safe, measurement of coatings and films - Laboratory and On-line Controller     Finally, an affordable optical system... and it's easy to operate. Using advanced design and our proprietary algorithms, you can easily and accurately measure the coating thickness of both clear and translucent materials. The system's fast acquisition speed (≈10 ms) allows coating thickness to be accurately measured in the laboratory, or in-process.  Technology Features... Non-contact: Optical measurement, non-destructive, without a radiation or explosion 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!  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 larger measurement range than any similar system. And, frequently it can successfully make measurements where other optical systems have failed. MEASUREMENT OF: Angioplasty balloons, both Nylon 12 and PET 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 is completely self contained and includes everything you need: sensor head, controller, focused light source, fixture stand, fiber cable, and software. All you need to provide is a keyboard and monitor, NO COMPUTER IS NECESSARY. Its 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.  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 (to 10ms). Because if its speed, it can capture 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. Our proprietary algorithms and advanced design allow us to measure materials on highly reflective surfaces, AND on many rough surfaces. Please see below.
