Capacitive Thickness Gauges and Displacement Gauges: Frequently Asked Questions
Question number FAQ-0149
What can the VE series gap detector measure?
By using two sensors, we can measure the displacement of electrically conductive materials such as metals and carbon, and semiconductors such as silicon wafers, as well as their thickness.
| conductor | Metals, conductive films, carbon, etc. |
|---|---|
| semiconductor | Silicon wafers, etc. |
Furthermore, it can also measure the thickness of insulating materials such as thin films and glass wafers.
| insulator | Glass, polyethylene, polypropylene and other plastics (The objects to be measured are thin objects composed of a single material with uniform properties throughout.) |
