Micro-Epsilon system measures coatings on battery film

combiSENSOR KSB6430 This Micro-Epsilon system for measuring electrode coatings in battery film production combines a couple of measurements to derive exact material measurements inline. It has a sensor system that detects the layer thickness on chrome-coated steel rollers that guide the material and a capacitive sensor that provides the distance to the film coating; meanwhile, an eddy current sensor detects the distance to the metal roller.  

What’s new? The system, which has been on the market for a few months. 

Benefits Precise one-sided thickness measurement of electrode coatings in battery film production. The combiSENSOR KSB6430 can measure material thicknesses ranging from 5 micrometers to 3mm with sub-micrometer accuracy. The system is also extremely temperature-stable and insensitive to contamination.
