The FACTS Inc. SME Gauge is a non-nuclear measurement scanning system that provides true thickness measurement for your web application. In conjunction with a precision reference roll, the SME Gauge incorporates an optical micrometer and an eddy current sensor to perform precise single-sided measurements.
The SME Web Thickness Gauge is suitable for applications where the product to be measured is non-conductive and is flexible enough to make a 45-degree wrap around a reference roll. Materials that are suitable for web thickness measurement by an SME gauge include
- Foam Sheet
- Multi-Layer Sheet and Film
- Materials with variable amount of filler or highly pigmented
- Measurement Ranges are 2 mills to 500 mills (.002″ to 0.500″ inches)
- Output to FACTS Automatic Profile Control System
