Frequently Asked Questions

What is a non-contact thickness measurement?

Non-contact thickness measurement determines the thickness of a material without physically touching it. Using technologies like millimeter wave (M-Ray), ultrasound, or laser, sensors measure the distance to the material surface or transmission characteristics to calculate thickness precisely. This is ideal for fast-moving production lines, delicate materials, or situations where contact could damage the product or introduce contamination.
