PMC Smart In-Line Thickness Gauge: The Top Choice for Sheets and Films. 2025.10.08

     
 

Whether you produce rubber and plastic, film, silicone, PTFE (Teflon), steel plate, or any other type of sheet material, if you require a certain level of precision in your product thickness and want the most time-saving and efficient way to measure and control it, PMC offers the perfect solution: "In-Line Thickness Measurement Equipment."

This system lets you monitor product thickness directly on the production line and simultaneously feed the data back to the upstream process for compensatory adjustments. It's incredibly convenient!


 

I. Do You Face These Challenges?

 

  • Product thickness is unstable and difficult to keep within tolerance.

  • Defective products lead to material waste, and reprocessing increases production costs.

  • Wasting significant setup time and trial scrap when changing production items on the line.

  • Inability to provide relevant historical traceability data when customers raise thickness issues or request data reports.


 

II. Our Thickness Measurement Solution

 

  • The in-line thickness measurement system is real-time, automatically measuring the thickness of products on the production line.

  • Features an automatic feedback function that relays measurement results back to the upstream process for immediate adjustment of production parameters and compensation.

  • Software functions primarily include in-line thickness measurement, real-time quality monitoring, measurement information feedback/compensation, automatic sensor calibration and compensation, and output of product inspection reports. We can also provide advanced customized software functions based on customer needs.


 

III. Measurement Types and Sensor Options

 

  • PMC currently offers measurement types including Single-Roller, Dual-Roller, Dual-Capacitance, and Dual-Laser, and we can provide customized designs based on the application.

  • Sensor types are selected based on the material being tested and the required precision, typically using Laser, Capacitance, and Eddy Current sensors or a combination thereof.


 

IV. How Our Thickness Gauge Can Help You

 

  • Achieve in-line measurement and monitoring to continuously track product thickness quality.

  • Feedback measurement data to the upstream process for compensatory adjustments, ensuring uniform and stable product thickness.

  • The measurement results display practical information such as average thickness and standard deviation, location of non-conforming data, and historical trend charts.

  • Reduce setup time and material waste when changing production items on the line.

  • An intuitive and easy-to-use software system allows for convenient operation and management, with customizable functions based on client requirements.


 

V. See Which Major Manufacturers Are Using It

 

Our equipment has been successfully applied in a wide range of industries, including sheet materials, film, rubber and plastics, silicone, steel, and paper forming. Our industry track record gives us—and you—confidence.


 

VI. What Else Makes Our Product Unique?

 

  • The system has automatic calibration and compensation capabilities, ensuring stable and reliable measurement accuracy unaffected by usage time or temperature changes.

  • When the product measured in-line is too thick or too thin, an alert light and buzzer notify on-site personnel for immediate intervention and adjustment.

  • The machine has self-protection capabilities, constantly detecting hardware abnormalities for easy maintenance.
