The PTA-Line Micrometer is suitable for measuring the thickness of papers, boards, textiles, fabrics, glass fibers, and similar materials. A linear high resolution sensor captures the measuring values, which are subsequently shown on a touchscreen. The measuring unit and an industrial PC are built into a sturdy housing. Measuring pin and load weight are built into the instrument according to the testing requirements. Lowering speed and dwell time are set according to the standard. The lifting can be limited, thus speeding up the measurement. The service menu is well arranged, so that the parallelism can easily be controlled and set. A large touch-screen clearly displays single values, statistics, and curve charts. It is possible to preset an automatic zero setting before the start of every test series.

Test description

The sample is placed on the measuring area. The operator pushes the start button. The measuring pin lowers onto the sample at the appropriate load pressure for a preset dwell time. An electronic sensor receives the measuring value, which is displayed subsequently. Statistic values and graphs are displayed after multiple tests.
