MULTILAYER MATERIALS: Simultaneous measurements of multiple layers and coatings online or in the QA Lab

Multilayer materials provide a challenge to the manufacturers who produce them and the quality personnel who need to inspect them. Time consuming and often inaccurate the results may depend more on the accuracy of a weight scale or the sharpness of a razor blade than a true measurement of the product. Lumetrics is the dimensional testing authority whose OptiGauge uses innovative super luminescent diode technology to provide accurate thickness measurement for all types of multilayer films whether co-extruded, coated, or laminated. Where most technologies can only tell how much coating is applied or resins used, the OptiGauge, with its unique optical measurement approach can tell how evenly it’s applied and how consistent the layers are. OptiGauge is also ideal for measuring such things as blood bag seams, diagnostic test strips, and flow cells. With its online and offline capabilities, OptiGauge is the choice of major film producers the world over.
