Glaze Thickness Measurement (Ultrasonic)

General EquipmentSanitaryware

Overview

The 456 ultrasonic glaze thickness measuring instrument is only suited to situations where automatic spray systems are in place. (Ceramic testing)

Details

The 456 glaze thickness measuring instrument is available in any combination of Basic, Standard and Advanced functionality, and can be supplied with a variety of probes to suit your individual needs

The test procedure is based on creating a sample which requires that self adhesive foil is attached to various points on the test piece which is then sent through the automatic glazing system.
Readings are then taken at the point or points where the foil has been laid. After testing the glaze can be washed off and the test piece can be used again

This application is useful in automatic spray glaze lines in sanitaryware applications. Here it is important to ensure that the robotic spray guns are applying the correct thickness of glaze all over the pieces. By having a test piece that has adhesive tape attached to various key points a standard method can be established.

The test piece can be sent through the system at pre-determined regular intervals and the performance of the system can be monitored.

The Integral Gauge features an inbuilt Bigfoot probe for stable placement, allowing for consistent and repeatable results.

Separate probe versions have an extensive range of plug in probes for measurements of a diverse range of applications
