Capacitive Non-contact Thickness Gauge
NEW Made to order
CL-7100シリーズ

The "CL-7100 series," which was introduced as the successor to the long-selling "CL-5610 series," has significantly enhanced measurement accuracy and response performance.
It also includes new features such as temperature measurement and Ethernet communication.
Compatible with various materials such as silicon wafers, electromagnetic steel sheets, and films for EV batteries, it achieves high-precision thickness measurement and streamlining of inspection processes through combinations with a variety of displacement sensors.

Features

non-contact measurement

Achieves high reproducibility without physically affecting the measurement target.

High precision and high response measurement performance

Compared to conventional products, it enables more precise measurements (±0.05 %FS to ±0.12 %FS, depending on the combination with sensors), and the computation cycle has been shortened from 20 ms to 10 ms. It supports multi-point continuous measurements and high-speed lines, achieving both reduced inspection time and high-quality measurements simultaneously.

Temperature measurement and correction function, network collaboration (optional)

The PT-100 temperature sensor enables the measurement of environmental temperature. By acquiring temperature data simultaneously with thickness measurement, it corrects measurement errors due to temperature changes, achieving higher precision measurements.
Furthermore, it supports Ethernet communication, facilitating centralized management, data collection, and remote monitoring via the network.

Intuitive color LCD touchscreen display

The color LCD display with excellent visibility and an easy-to-understand menu structure allows for quick access to necessary information. Measurement data for up to four items, such as displacement, thickness, and temperature, can be displayed simultaneously on one screen. This enables quick understanding of the measurement situation as multiple pieces of information can be checked at once without screen switching.
It also supports hard key operation, allowing for reliable and comfortable operation in various field environments, even while wearing gloves.

Compact, lightweight, and low power consumption.

The compact and lightweight design has achieved a reduction in both volume and mass by approximately 50% compared to conventional models. Additionally, the low power consumption helps to reduce environmental impact and contributes to the realization of carbon neutrality.

The comparator function (when options CL-0731 or CL-0732 are attached) can be used for online monitoring of abnormal values.

measured object Conductor; Semiconductor insulator
Silicon wafers, steel plates, aluminum plates, hard disks, printed circuit boards, and other metal plates that require cleanliness, softness, mirror finish, and are prone to scratches. Plastics such as glass, polyethylene, and polypropylene.
(Thin objects composed of a single material with uniform properties are the subject of measurement.)

Specification

measurement method

  • In the case of measuring conductors and semiconductors.

    In the case of measuring conductors and semiconductors.

    Install two sensors and the measured object parallel to each other within the measurement range of the sensors, and set the sensor spacing (Gs) to the CL-7100 series. Insert the measured object between sensor A and B, measure the gaps to the measured object (Ga, Gb), and determine the thickness (t).

  • In the case of measuring an insulator (optional)

    In the case of measuring an insulator (optional)

    Install the sensor and conductor (reference floor) in parallel, and set the sensor's gap measurement value (the voltage output Gs at this time) to the CL-7100 series. When the object to be measured is inserted between the sensor and the conductor (reference floor), the sensor's voltage output becomes Ga, and the thickness (t) is determined from this change in sensor voltage and the relative permittivity ε r.
