MINITEST 730 Coating Thickness Gauge

ElektroPhysik’ s SIDSP® digital sensor technology platform features the industries’ highest level of accuracy, repeatability and low end resolution because the actual measurement is completely processed at the point of measurement. Up until now, the traditional approach with electronic coating thickness testing gauges involved generating an analog response from the sensor which is then sent to a host gauge. That signal is then processed through a microprocessor that generates the calculations to display a value for the thickness of the coating that was just measured. From the point of measurement to the host device, the signal travels through “ probe wires” to the host device where the signal is then processed. It is during the signal transmission and before it is processed that the signal can be influenced by environmental and other conditions. As a result it can in fact affect the accuracy of the thickness displayed. Not so with ElektroPhysik’ s SIDSP® digital technology sensors, because the complete thickness value is calculated at the actual point of measurement... in the sensor where it touches the coating. Only the completely analyzed and processed digital coating thickness value is transmitted through the wires, not an analog signal. ElektroPhysik’ s new generation of SIDSP® digital technology sensors all go through a rigorous proprietary manufacturing process that involves up to 50 calibration points per sensor. During the sensor manufacturing process, each sensor is also encoded with individual “ temperature compensation” which means common temperature related conditions and changes will not affect the reading....this procedure and resulting feature is not even possible with traditional analog sensors.
