MTP - Continuous Strip Thickness Gauge with Automatic Drive
This high-endurance heavy-duty gauge is designed for precision continuous online contact measurement of metal as well as non-metallic strip thickness (continuous thickness mesurement). Types: MTP-1301A, MTP-2001A, MTP-3001A.
The gauge sliding in the operating position on strips of varied lengths and the gauge operation monitoring is carried out by SIEMENS automatic drive using pneumatic system. The design of the diamond contacts, which are permanently touching the measured strip, secures they do not impair the appearance of the material and have long service life. The pneumatic thrust of the contacts on the strip can be continuously controlled.
This continuous gauge was developed as an absolute measuring device requiring no mechanical readjustment for the nominal thickness of the measured strip and its absolute measuring capability allows to use it also for precision calibration of other (e.g. contactless) gauges during the production process.
The control unit enables:
digital thickness on 7" touch panel display- analogue display to show the deviation from the set nominal thickness
- setting and monitoring of lower and upper limits
- digital calibration of the gauge
- control of moving head into strip line
- anlogue outputs for AGC ± 20 mA (± 10V; 4 - 20 mA)
- serial data output module (RS-485, PROFIBUS, PROFINET,...)
Features:
- absolute digital display of the measured thickness
- independence of the measured material type
- no mechanical adjustment of the gauging head for nominal thickness
- easy operation
- 5 years warranty on diamond contacts
