CL-015

Using a capacitive micro-displacement sensor (gap detector) with high stability, we achieve non-contact and high-precision thickness measurement. By combining nine types of sensors that can be selected according to the measurement target and the shape of the measured object, along with thickness gauges (CL series) and displacement gauges (VT series), an optimal system tailored to the application can be constructed.

It demonstrates its power in measuring axial vibrations and surface contact of rotating shafts such as turbines, electric motors, compressors, and machine tool spindles, as well as measuring and controlling the thickness and width of moving objects. A wide range of applications centered on measurement control, including measuring and monitoring displacement, deflection, and warpage, is possible.

Non-Contact Thickness Meter (capacitive type)

The CL-7100 series is a non-contact thickness gauge for conductors, semiconductors, and insulators using the VE series capacitive gap detector. The capacitive sensor has a proven track record as a non-contact sensor, allowing for high-precision and stable thickness measurements with simple operation.
The CL-7100 series features a measurement function for conductors and semiconductors using two sensors (standard) and a measurement function for insulators using one sensor (CL-0740 option).
The installation distance between the VE sensor and the main unit for the CL-7100 is 1.5 m, while the CL-7100S can be installed at a maximum distance of 11.5 m.
