Thickness measurement of easily deformable materials
Soft or flexible materials, such as rubber, felt, sponge, technical fabrics or plastic films, require instruments that exert a constant and controlled force. Fork thickness gauges are equipped with calibrated tips and springs to ensure reliable measurements even on surfaces subject to deformation. The operator can choose between different contact configurations and measurement force, in accordance with the specifications of the material analyzed.
Thickness measurement of sheets and strips in production line
In production environments where plates, sheets or strips flow continuously, the Thickness measurement with fork feeler gauges allows for rapid and frequent checks without interrupting the process. Portable instruments can be used directly in-line, while fixed and automated solutions allow real-time monitoring of the entire production cycle, helping to reduce waste and maintain quality within required tolerances.
Quality control and materials acceptance
During the material acceptance phase or in random checks on the finished product, fork thickness gauges are essential tools to certify that the thickness falls within the parameters specified by the customer or by the technical regulations. The measurements can be recorded manually or transferred via digital interfaces, making the process traceable and integrable into company quality management systems.
Thickness measurement according to international standards
La Thickness measurement with fork feeler gauges can be performed in compliance with the main international standards (such as ISO, ASTM, DIN), which specify methods, contact geometries and test conditions. Certifiable instruments with metrological traceability ensure compliance with the regulations required in the automotive, medical, textile, plastic and many other production sectors.
Thickness measurement with analog and digital thickness gauges
Fork thickness gauges are available in analog dial models with a pointer or digital display versions, both with resolutions to one hundredth or one thousandth of a millimeter. Digital models offer advantages such as data output (USB, Bluetooth, RS-232) for integration with acquisition software or MES systems, facilitating automation and statistical analysis.
Thickness measurement of moving materials
Thanks to their ergonomics and reading speed, fork thickness gauges are also particularly suitable for checking moving materials, such as conveyor belts, rotating coils or sheets on rollers. The speed of measurement, combined with the mechanical resistance of the instrument, allows for timely intervention in the event of out-of-specification or process drift.
