Precision Thickness Gauge FT3-V

Precision Thickness Gauge FT3-V

Manufactured by Hanatek Instruments

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.Hanatek FT3 Precision Thickness Gauge Applications
