Model CX-1000 Film Thickness Gauge

The CX-1000 combines our patented capacitance sensor with industry-leading software to give you plastic film thickness profiling resolution to one microinch.  This gauge can be run as a stand-alone bench unit, or can be connected to a computer for RS-232 operation by our Model CX-1100 Quality Control Software.  Capacitance measurement is industry-recognized as the best choice for off-line, high resolution, continuous gauge profiling for plastic films.

Model CX-1020 AutoCalTM Film Thickness Gauge

The CX-1020 revolutionized capacitance film thickness gauging with the introduction of our patented AutoCalTM concept - by adding an absolute (contact) measurement probe with the capacitance sensor, the CX-1020 is self-calibrating.  No more need to create detailed recipes to recall calibration information.  Accidental operator errors are reduced, accuracy is increased, because different polymers and blends require different calibration values.

Model MX-1210 MicroGaugeTM

The MX-1210 utilizes an LVDT sensor, contact foot and an isolated "C" frame assembly and resolves to ten millionths of an inch with accuracy to 20 microinches.  Rugged and cost effective, the Microgauge can provide accurate measurement of caliper or thickness of paper, tissue and plastic films.  Drive increments can be set for 1 to 6 inch steps (paper) or 0.20 to 4.0 inch steps (film) with other ranges available.  Statistics are reported on the display on the faceplate, and the MX-1210 can operate our Model CX-1100 Quality Control Software.

Model MX-1200 MicroGaugeTM

The MX-1200 utilizes an LVDT contact sensor, and an isolated "C" frame assembly which resolves to ten millionths of an inch with accuracy to 20 microinches.  Measurement head automatically cycles up/down, with operator pulling samples underneath for up to 1024 readings per sample.  Statistics reported on gauge display include high, low, average and standard deviation, and the MX-1200 can operate our Model CX-1100 Quality Control Software.

Model MX-1100 MicroGaugeTM

Economical, Accurate, Easy-to-Operate...  the MX-1100 utilizes an LVDT contact sensor, and proven "Isolated C Frame" and resolves to ten millionths of an inch with accuracy to 50 microinches.  "True Cam" for accurate descent rates, and one-button "zeroing" are standard.  Equipped with an RS-232 port for a serial printer or computer to allow operation with 3rd-party statistics and quality control software packages.  Manufactured to meet TAPPI specifications for paper or ASTM specifications for film.  Range: 40 mils (0.04 inch), available to 0.50 inch.

Series XL-750 / 770 / 770-VF Bench Micrometers
