Precision Thickness Gauge FT3-V

The Hanatek Variable Force Precision Thickness Gauge or Deadweight Micrometer FT3-V is specifically designed to quickly and accurately measure the thickness of a variety of substrates including film, paper, board, foil, tissue and textiles.

The Thickness Gauge is operated via an intuitive touch screen interface the instrument will allow the user to define batch size, dwell time & measuring speed.

Full test statistics can be easily viewed or printed to label for easy documentation control.

Contact pressure varied by adding additional weights to measurement platen. Contact area is factory set.

Features

Repeatability of better than 0.4 µm
0.1 µm resolution
User programmable number of readings, dwell time and down speed
Metric or imperial units
Easy to use touch screen / integrated software
Flatness of measurement head/anvil <0.1μm, typical parallelism <1μm
Temperature stability circuitry ensures the instrument electronics reach optimum conditions before testing.
Batch Test: Calculates the thickness difference between two measurement sets, used to assess the thickness of coatings, adhesives or sample batches
Extended two year warranty
UKAS traceable calibration certificate, 2000 and 500 µm calibrated check gauges
