SKU: MiniTest FH
High precision thickness measurement MiniTest FH
Rugged wall thickness gauge:
– Measurement of non-ferrous materials up to 24mm thickness.
– Suitable for all types of packaging such as bottles and containers made of glass and plastic.
– As well as for composite materials, aluminium and titanium parts with complex geometries in aerospace and automotive production.
– Exceptional accuracy through digital signal processing.
– Direct data import into evaluation software.
– AI-based quick calibration function.
Wall thickness measurement made with precision
MiniTest FH is a portable measuring instrument for measurements up to 24mm wall thickness. The ergonomic housing shape as well as the easy handling make the MiniTest FH the ideal measuring tool in production and in any quality lab. The non-destructive gauge is intuitive to operate and achieves precise measurement results on all non-magnetic materials, regardless of size and shape. Even measurements on sharp edges, narrow diameters and / or complex geometries can be carried out easily with the FH gauge. Measurements with MiniTest FH provide information on wall thicknesses within a very short time and are thus indispensable for optimizing production. For example, in the production of PET bottles, adjusting a wall thickness that is too high to the target specification can lead to savings of several tons of material per year. Furthermore, compliance with minimum
wall thicknesses to avoid rejects and possible complaints can also be improved with MiniTest FH as part of quality control.
Wide range of sensors for numerous applications
A selection of sensors with various measuring ranges, reference balls and wires and different designs is available to cover a wide range of measuring tasks. All available sensors work with the SIDSP® method (sensor-integrated digital signal processing) and offer the highest accuracy by transmitting the already digitally processed measured values from the sensor to the evaluation unit. Using the innovative quick calibration,
a zero calibration for each sensor and ball diameter can be carried out within seconds by pressing one key in order to increase the accuracy of the measured values.
Data transfer
MiniTest FH offers various interfaces for data transfer to a PC or directly into a CAQ system: individual measured values as well as the entire statistics can be transferred via USB, RS232C or Bluetooth. As a special feature, MiniTest FH allows direct transfer of measured values to an Excel spreadsheet or other evaluation software via USB keyboard emulation.
