Model MX-1210 profiling thickness gauge

Standalone or software driven thickness profiling couldn’t be easier.

The Model MX-1210 is fitted with a high precision LVDT sensor, contact foot and an isolated “C” frame assembly.

The MicroGauge will provide accurate measurement of caliper or thickness of paper, tissue, and plastic films.

Drive increments can be set for 25 mm to 150 mm steps (paper) or 3 mm to 75 mm steps (film) with other ranges available. Statistics are reported on the instruments display. The MX-1210 is fully compatible with the Oakland Instruments Model MX-1300 QC Software.

Designed to be rugged, reliable and ease-of-use, the MX-1210 can help solve the toughest thickness deviation problems.

MX-1300 Process Control Software

Graphical analysis of thickness data including high, low, average, standard deviation, and data count values.
Percent against average gauge
Polar Plots
Die variation for blow films
Fourier Analysis for extrusion line problem diagnosis and analysis

Some of the standards the instrument can be configured to.
