High accuracy eddy current, touch-roll type thickness measurement system. Use of eddy current method makes the system superior to any other measurement systems because it can provide highly accurate measurements of thickness of polymer films and rubber sheets continuously without being affected by ambient atmosphere with water, oil or dust etc.

Product Overview

High accuracy digital thickness measurement system with high stability and reliability

The VND converter, in combination with an eddy current type displacement sensor and the touch-roll attachment, provides a system that measures the thickness of the non-conductive sheets with high accuracy. Use of eddy current method makes the system superior to any other measurement systems based on optical, ultrasonic or radiological principles because it can provide highly accurate measurements of thickness of polymer films and rubber sheets continuously without being affected by ambient atmosphere with water, oil or dust etc.

Features

  • Easy adjustment by (SET) button
    When in the field, simply provide a mock thickness with a spacer of regulated pitches (10% or 20%), and press (SET) button to adjust characteristics.
  • Digital display on the converter for thickness measurement check
    No testers are required in the field to measure converter’s output voltage.
  • Smooth zero-shift function (Approx. ±20 % o f F.S.)
    Smooth zero-shift adjustment made possible with the up/down (▲) (▼) keys on the converter surface.　Zero-shift function doesn’t affect sensitivity and linearity (accuracy) of the measurement.
  • Highly accurate thickness measurement
    The use of 6-point adjustment (20% pitches) or 11-point adjustment (10% pitches) to match with the actual target (rollers) has achieved the linearity of within ±0.5 % of F.S. (with the field adjustments, linearity as much as ±0.2% of F.S. (typical value) is also possible.)
  • High stability
    Superior temperature characteristics provide stable measurements. Run-out effects from target (rotor) are kept low just as that of our conventional VN series models.
  • Compact
    Downsized by half from the conventional VN converter
