Measuring the Thickness of Multiple Points (sandwiched thickness)

Measuring the Thickness of Multiple Points (sandwiched thickness)

This is an example of how to measure the sandwiched thickness at three places on a workpiece, and calculate the difference (max. value - min. value) of each measured thickness value. [THICK] and [MAX-MIN] are used as the operation modes.

Input A Input C Input E

Thickness

Input A Input B Input C Input D Input E Input F

Input B Input D Input F

CH0 CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 CH6

The operation and/or measurement results are output as judgement output or linear output.

For details on how to connect and install the Sensor Heads and Sensor Controllers, refer to the “ZS-L User’s Manual”.
