Precision Gap Measurement in Coaters/Extruders
For the past 15 years Capacitec has been working
closely with leading global manufacturers of labels,
tapes and films to develop a system to precisely
measure slot die coater gaps.
The new system has made dramatic improvements over traditional
gap measurement methods such as feeler gauges by achieving
coater gap uniformity better than 10 microinches (0.25 microns).
This results in uniform product thickness of both media and
coatings across widths of several metres. It offers extremely high
resolutions of 1 microinch/2.5 microns and accuracy of
8 microinches/20 microns for very thin gaps (down to 0.009"/0.23 mm)
The new non-contact capacitive gap measurement solution includes
sensor wands, special wand holders, signal conditioning electronics
and mating Bargrafx™ software
