S-100 Twin - Thickness gauge for double bubble extrusion

S-100 Twin

The S-100 Twin consists of two capacitive, C-shaped thickness sensors that automatically follow the film edges after the nips. This makes it the preferred solution for double and triple bubble extrusion lines as well as for license-free thickness profile measurement on barrier film lines. Other notable features of this sensor type include largely contactless thickness measurement, integrated film torsion compensation and width measurement.

Application
  • Largely contactless thickness measurement after the nips
  • Suitable for barrier films made of PE, PP, PA, EVOH, TPU and comparable materials
  • For tacky films
Special Features
  • Also available in a version for measuring the thickness of films for medical applications (e.g., for blood bag films)
  • Integrated film width measurement and torsion compensation
Technology
  • Capacitive thickness measurement
  • Automatic edge tracking of the sensors
