Universal Micrometer

For the precise determination of thickness of paper, board, corrugated board, nonwovens, foil and textile. The universal micrometer consists of a warpresistant housing, which ensures exact measurements thanks to its stability. On the front of the device there is a digital display and controls, as well as start and stop buttons. The high-precision measurement mechanism is protected by being integrated within the housing and consists basically of a motor-driven lifting mechanism, a measuring pin, and the appropriate weight, which can be simply exchanged if required. This allows a single device to measure the thickness of materials acc. to different standards.

Test description

The single or multiple layer sample is placed on the measuring area. The start button is pushed and the measuring pin goes downward toward the sample at the preset speed to apply the appropriate weight to the area acc. to standard. On elapsing of a preset period the high-definition sensor measures the thickness of the sample. Then the measuring pin returns to the start position. The measurement result is displayed on the digital display and saved as statistics. The option exists of switching from single to continuous operation, where the measuring pin moves back and forth continually, allowing several consecutive measurements to be carried out.
