Application Scenarios

• Non-Ferrous Metal Rolling Industry: Ideal for measuring the thickness of aluminum plates, composite aluminum plates, and other non-ferrous metal materials during the rolling process. It is an indispensable measuring device in aluminum and copper plate rolling operations.
• Steel Industry: Although primarily targeted at non-ferrous metals, the technology can also be applied to measure the thickness of steel plates and strips.
• Precision Manufacturing: Used in production lines to monitor material thickness in real-time, ensuring consistent product quality. It is widely applied in automotive manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, and other fields.
• Quality Control and Inspection Departments: Suitable for both offline and online precision measurements, providing reliable data support for product quality control.

Maintenance and Usage Considerations

• Installation: Ensure the power is turned off during installation to avoid equipment damage or personal injury. Connect cables by holding the plug’s outer sleeve and applying force axially; do not rotate the probe or cable to prevent damage.
• Environmental Conditions: Although the module is resistant to environmental factors, it is advisable to avoid extreme temperatures and humidity to maintain optimal performance.
• Avoid Mechanical Damage: Handle with care during installation and use to prevent collisions and avoid liquid penetration into the module.
• Electromagnetic Interference: Despite its strong anti-interference ability, install the module away from strong electromagnetic fields to ensure measurement signal stability.
• Regular Cleaning: Clean the module’s surface after use to remove coupling agents and dirt. Use a small amount of water for gentle cleaning; avoid corrosive liquids such as alcohol or diluents.
• Calibration: The calibration cycle depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions. It is recommended to perform a comprehensive calibration annually under normal use, and semi-annually for high-frequency use or harsh environments. Conduct a simple zero-point calibration or use a standard sample for quick calibration before each use.
