Features of Thickness Tester/ Caliper - Paper & Board

Precise Platen Parallelism

Parallelism is critical for good thickness testing. If the platens are not parallel, you simply will not get reliable test results. Technidyne has made this process as simple as possible by integrating the hardware and the software into a unique system. During the final calibration and quality checks the measuring surfaces undergo a rigorous process to make sure that the parallelism is set exactly to the specifications. Once this has been accomplished the internal mechanism insures that the platens stay parallel.

Easy Calibration

The software allows you to set the zero point with the simple push of a button. The instrument provides reminders to clean your platens before setting the zero, insuring the zero point is set precisely each and every time. The primary calibration is simple and fast as the user friendly software steps you through the process. A timer can be set to remind you to calibrate, either by elapsed time or number of tests, or both.

Self Cleaning Function

The self cleaning device is activated before each measurement to ensure that the test results are both reliable and accurate. A puff of air is directed toward the measurement surfaces to remove any foreign material that could adversely affect the measurement results.

Detailed Profiling Capability

The Thickness Tester/ Caliper for Paper & Board provides a detailed profile automatically with the built-in Paper Advance System (PAS). This allows you to look at the profile across the entire web to meet your customer’s strict thickness specifications. PROFILE/Plus Thickness is simple to operate as a stand-alone instrument, or as part of Technidyne’s PROFILE/Plus system.

Adheres to Industry Standards

The PROFILE/Plus Caliper instrument meets or exceeds paper industry standards to provide the accuracy and repeatability you need from this critical test parameter: TAPPI T411, Paptac D.4, ISO 534, SCAN-P7, JIS standard.

Fast and Accurate

Each measurement is made in less than a few seconds, so you receive data as quickly as possible. Whether calibrating on-line sensors or verifying the precise thickness of your products, PROFILE/Plus Caliper will insure your process is under control and your on-line instruments are operating properly.

Benefits of Thickness Tester/ Caliper - Paper & Board

  • Precise platen parallelism means the instrument is always measuring correctly, thereby reducing maintenance/support costs.
  • Easy calibration ensures accurate results and reduces the amount of rechecks required – thereby saving money
  • Self cleaning function can improve test repeatability - saving operator time and thus saving money
  • Detailed profiling capability provides timely information to papermachine operators allowing them to make positive process changes to improve quality, lower rejects, reduce customer complaints and save money.
  • PROFILE/Plus customers have reported that money savings can be realized in the areas of furnish, chemical addition, customer complaints, and reduced paper machine breaks. Manpower efficiency can also be improved by increasing the testing frequency and accuracy, which lowers the overall cost of testing.
