New Approach To Wall Thickness Measurement
The MiniTest FH is stated as the new measure for precise wall thickness measurement by ElektroPhysik. The portable measuring device combines robust technology with digital intelligence – for applications in production, quality laboratories or demanding special environments. With measuring ranges of up to 24 mm and an innovative quick calibration function, the MiniTest FH enables precise zero-point calibration for every sensor and ball diameter in a matter of seconds. Intuitive operation, a clear 4.3″ display and an extensive database structure with up to 2 million storable measured values make the system an ideal partner in industry. The magnetostatic measuring method guarantees precise results of non-ferritic materials such as plastic, glass, aluminum or composite materials – even with complex geometries. Even hard-to-reach areas are easy to access with 90° sensor variants as well as automatic data transfer via USB, RS232 or Bluetooth.

Triple Beam Laser Interferometer
SIOS Meßtechnik’s triple-beam laser interferometric measuring system sets a new benchmark for precision, offering simultaneous, ultra-accurate measurements of length, pitch, and yaw angles. Engineered for flexibility and ease of use, it features integrated beam direction detection for straightforward handling and adjustment, while accommodating a variety of optical reflectors such as spherical and plane mirrors. With a permissible reflector tilt of up to ±12.5°, a compact sensor head design available in aluminum, stainless steel, or invar, and a beam distance of just 12 mm, the system is highly adaptable. OEM versions, specialized software, and vacuum-compatible models further broaden application possibilities, supported by optional beam deflection mirrors, extended interface options, and extensive triggering capabilities. To ensure measurement integrity, calibration software aligned with the latest standards is included, making this system a versatile solution for modern precision metrology.
