Thickness measuring device combiSENSOR

capacitiveeddy currentindustrial

In its sensor housing, the combiSENSOR combines an eddy current displacement sensor and a capacitive displacement sensor. This unique sensor concept enables one-sided thickness measurement of electrically non-conductive materials on metallic objects. Its field of application is the thickness measurement of plastic film or of plastic coating on metal plates. Connected to the sensor via a cable, the controller processes and calculates the signals in order to put them out via interfaces. Calculation of the two sensor signals provides compensation of mechanical changes such as thermal expansion, deflections or eccentricity in the measurement device. Due to the redundancy of this combined sensor principle, the measured thickness value remains unaffected by any changes in the measurement setup. Due to the high temperature stability, the combiSENSOR provides high measurement accuracy even with fluctuating temperatures. Possible applications: •Non-contact thickness measurement of plastic films •Non-contact thickness measurement of coated metals •Measurement of the applied adhesive •Lateral profile due to a traversing axis
