Thickness measuring instrument TAPERADER®

mechanicalindustrialprocess

Patented design for micro-calotest with quantitative measurement of coating thickness Thin films and coatings with a few nm to μm thickness are often applied on many products for the optimization of their mechanical properties and tribological performance. Therefore, an accurate measurement with high resolution is essential for R&D, quality assurance and process optimization for many industrial applications. Thickness measurement is typically done with a combination of indentation and scratch tests, and they are mostly for thicker coatings in micrometer range. Taperader®, is by far the only measurement instrument that provides a mobile, fast, in-situ solution for real-time analysis of surface coatings, e.g. soft coatings. Its unique design allows for a wide range of applications on either a lab sample or finished products. abrasion depth thin coating thickness loading system: providing a constant load highly defined tape: for micro-grinding Speed control system Optical height profile measurement system: real-time documentation of abrasion depth in nm resolution display: LCD graphical display data acquisition and transmission software: built-in software with USB, Bluetooth functions Measurement Range: ca. 0,5 mm Resolution: ca. 75 nm Loading and Measurement tip: Sapphire Dimensions: H 109, W 107, B 82 mm Weight: 1120 g Data Entry: Touchscreen Data Output: LCD graphical display, USB, Bluetooth (optional) Voltage: Accumulator 7,5 V 220 mA Wattage: 100 mA (without Bluetooth) Automatic switch to saving mode: after 10 min.
