The thickness and density (basis weight) of sheet-like objects are measured non-contact (soft X-ray). Instead of measuring the thickness directly, the thickness and density (basis weight) are calculated by comparison with a reference material. In methods like X-ray thickness gauges, the thickness is estimated by measuring the attenuation during transmission through the air layer - sample - air layer, but the attenuation caused by the sample is much greater than that of air, and the effects of vibrations during transport only manifest as changes in the thickness of the air layer, which are minimal. Therefore, high-precision measurements can be made even during transport. Films that include black films or fillers can also be measured. 【Applications】 ■ Copper foil, aluminum foil, stainless steel foil ■ Battery electrodes ■ Ceramics (sheets, wafers) ■ Glass fiber cloth Continuous measurement of such materials. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

The thickness and density (basis weight) of sheet-like or plate-like objects are measured non-contact (using soft X-rays). Instead of directly measuring the thickness, the thickness and density (basis weight) are calculated by comparing with a reference material. In methods like X-ray thickness gauges, the thickness is estimated by measuring the attenuation during transmission through the air layer - sample - air layer, but the attenuation caused by the sample is significantly greater than that of the air, and the effects of vibrations during transport only manifest as changes in the thickness of the air layer, which are minimal. Therefore, high-precision measurements can be made even during transport. Films that include black films or fillers can also be measured.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

It is possible to measure the thickness of a single leaf sample across its entire surface. This is a thickness gauge (film thickness gauge) that utilizes soft X-rays. It measures the thickness and density (basis weight) of sheet or plate-like objects non-contact (using soft X-rays). Instead of directly measuring the thickness, it calculates the thickness and density (basis weight) by comparing with a reference material. Unlike X-ray thickness gauges that estimate thickness through transmission attenuation, this method measures the attenuation that occurs while passing through the air layer - sample - air layer. The attenuation caused by the sample is significantly greater than that of air, and the effects of transport only manifest as changes in the thickness of the air layer, making the impact minimal. Therefore, it can achieve high precision measurements. □■□ For more details, please request documentation or download the catalog □■□

• Coating thickness gauge

This is a thickness gauge (film thickness gauge) that utilizes beta rays. It measures the thickness and density (basis weight) of sheet and plate-like objects non-contact (using beta rays). Instead of directly measuring the thickness, it calculates the thickness and density (basis weight) by comparing with a reference material. In methods like the beta ray thickness gauge that estimate thickness through transmission attenuation, the attenuation measured occurs as the rays pass through the air layer - sample - air layer. The attenuation caused by the sample is significantly greater than that of air, and the effects of transport only manifest as changes in the thickness of the air layer, making the impact minimal. Therefore, it can achieve high precision measurements. **Features of our beta ray thickness gauge compared to conventional beta ray thickness gauges:** - No need for qualifications or management area settings (certified equipment with display) - The detection unit and beta ray source unit are compact and lightweight, allowing installation in narrow lines. *Certification as "certified equipment with display" has been obtained from the Nuclear Regulation Authority. It can be used without the need for qualifications or management area settings.* □■□ For more details, please request materials or download the catalog □■□
