Digital Thickness Gauge for lab

Digital Thickness Gauge

  A Digital Thickness Gauge is a precision instrument used to measure the thickness of materials like fabric, paper, plastic, rubber, leather, and films. It displays readings digitally, offering greater accuracy, consistency, and ease of use compared to analog gauges. Purpose of Digital Thickness Gauge: - To measure material thickness accurately for quality control and specification compliance. - Commonly used in textile, paper, packaging, plastic, and leather industries.   Working Principle of Digital Thickness Gauge: - A flat presser foot is lowered onto the material placed on an anvil. - The displacement between the anvil and foot is measured using a digital sensor. - The value is displayed instantly on an LCD screen.   Key Features of Digital Thickness Gauge: - Digital LCD Display – Clear, instant readings. - High Accuracy & Resolution – Typically ±0.01 mm or better. - Spring-Loaded Presser Foot – Applies uniform pressure. - Zero Setting & Data Hold – For quick reference and repeatability. - Unit Conversion – Switch between mm/inch. - Battery Operated – Portable and convenient.   Applications of Digital Thickness Gauge: - Fabric and textile labs - Plastic film and paper mills - Leather and rubber product inspection - Research & development   Benefits of Digital Thickness Gauge:

1. High Accuracy - Offers precise measurements, often up to ±0.01 mm, reducing human error.
2. Quick Readout - Instant digital display of results speeds up testing and data collection.
3. Easy to Use - Simple operation with one-button zeroing and unit conversion.
4. Consistent Pressure Application - Spring-loaded foot ensures uniform pressure for repeatable results.

 

5. Multi-Material Testing - Suitable for textiles, paper, film, rubber, leather, and nonwovens.
6. Portable and Lightweight- Ideal for both lab and field use with battery-powered operation.
7. Data Hold Function - Locks the measurement on-screen for easy recording.
8. Improves Quality Control - Helps manufacturers maintain product thickness standards.

  Features of Digital Thickness Gauge:

1. Digital LCD Display - Provides clear, instant thickness readings in mm or inches.
2. High Resolution & Accuracy - Typically measures with 0.01 mm precision.
3. Spring-Loaded Presser Foot - Applies consistent pressure on samples for reliable results.
4. Zero Setting Function- Allows quick reset before each measurement.
5. Unit Conversion Button - Easily switch between metric (mm) and imperial (inch) units.
6. Data Hold Function - Freezes the displayed value for easy recording.
7. Portable Design - Compact and battery-operated for on-site or lab use.
8. Durable Construction - Made from stainless steel or hardened materials for long life.

 

9. Auto Power-Off - Saves battery by shutting off when idle.
10. Variety of Anvil & Foot Sizes - Customizable based on testing standards or material types.

  How to Use Digital Thickness Gauge:

1. Power On the Device - Press the power button to turn on the gauge.
2. Zero the Gauge - Close the anvil and presser foot fully. Press the "ZERO" button to reset the display to 0.00 mm.
3. Select Unit (if needed) - Use the unit button to toggle between mm and inches.
4. Place the Sample - Open the presser foot and insert the material between the foot and anvil.
5. Apply Pressure - Gently release the presser foot to let it rest on the sample using its spring force.

 

6. Read the Measurement- Read the thickness displayed on the LCD screen.
7. Hold or Record the Data - Use the "HOLD" button (if available) to lock the reading for recording.
8. Remove the Sample- Lift the presser foot and take out the material.
9. Power Off - Turn off the device or let it auto shut-off.
