Copper thickness gauge Photon

foilaluminumstationary

Overview
This photon transmission sensor measures electrode coat weight applied to aluminum and copper foil substrates on anode and cathode coating lines. The Photon gauge provides high-accuracy, stable and reliable measurement performance typically better than ±0.05% of actual coating weight, with optics and a very small beam enabling high-resolution visibility and narrow-streak detection.

Features & Benefits

• Optical photon-transmission technology optimized for lithium‑ion battery electrode coatings
• Suitable for patch, zone and continuous coating processes
