Thickness gauge - Import export

A quick thickness control of blankets, plates or underlay foils outside the printing press: This is the main function of the transportable, analog BIRKAN thickness gauge. It allows you to check in no time the thickness of your cylinder packing and prevent printing problems. The thickness gauge is equipped with a special feeler for soft materials such as rubber printing blankets. However, other materials not thicker than 5 millimetres can be equally measured.

TOPTICA’s TeraFlash smart utilizes a proprietary scheme dubbed ECOPS ("electronically controlled optical sampling"). The system comprises two synchronized femtosecond lasers, eliminating the need for a mechanical delay. This results in extremely high measurement speeds: the TeraFlash smart acquires 1600 complete terahertz waveforms per second, enabling terahertz-based thickness gauging at unprecedented speed. The system thus lends itself to measurements on rapidly moving samples, e.g. conveyor belts, papermaking machines, or extrusion lines. Learn more about TOPTICA's advanced terahertz solutions.
