The gauge sliding in the operating position on strips of varied lengths and the gauge operation monitoring is carried out by SIEMENS automatic drive using pneumatic system. The design of the diamond contacts, which are permanently touching the measured strip, secures they do not impair the appearance of the material and have long service life. The pneumatic thrust of the contacts on the strip can be continuously controlled.
This continuous gauge was developed as an absolute measuring device requiring no mechanical readjustment for the nominal thickness of the measured strip and its absolute measuring capability allows to use it also for precision calibration of other (e.g. contactless) gauges during the production process.
The control unit enables:
digital thickness display
analogue display unit to show the deviation from the set nominal thickness
setting and monitoring of 2 lower and 2 upper limits
digital calibration of the gauge
extension module connection
