Thickness gauges - 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.

Spare Dial Gauges are available for all Digital Thickness Gauges. They will be supplied without contact point and without lifting device. For Digital Thickness Gauges the data cables illustrated below are available. Data cable DCMD 232 This Opto_RS cable allows a fast connection of Digital Dial Gauges via a RS 232 data output directly to a PC or to other peripheral devices. Standard version 2 m long, maximum length 15 m optionally available. SUB-D jack 9 – pin / F. Cable for data output for series MD / FMD XX TB or FMD XX TA. Data cable DCMV 232 In standard version 2 m long. SUB-D jack 9 – pin.

The large display has a good visual perception for easy reading of the measuring result. The use of aluminium for the body of the instruments makes them light and easy to handle. The Digital Thickness Gauges are switchable from metric reading to inch reading.

Dial Thickness Gauges are used for measuring the thickness of a very wide range of materials such as leather, paperboard, paper, felt, rubber, glass, sheet, metal, films, plywood and plastics. The shape of the feelers should be adapted to the material being measured. We supply all our Dial Thickness Gauges with contact points type c as standard, unless otherwise stated in our catalogue. Gauges can be supplied with other forms of contact points (a,b,d, or e) at no extra cost.

This Stand converts the Dial Thickness Gauges e.g. K50, K100, J50, J100 and F1101/30 as well as the respective digital models, designed for hand-held use, to table models. Retrofitting this Stand to models already in use is possible.
