LEFT 500 - Film Thickness Tester

No ACF gallery field data found

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Consistent thickness is critical for the quality and performance of synthetic films, foils, paper and fabrics. LEFT 500 offers precise, repeatable measurements through a robust mechanical scanning system designed for demanding production environments. Compatible with flat films, blown films, coatings and foam films, it delivers accurate thickness readings along and across the material. Specially coated, low-friction antistatic surfaces with integrated dust removal ensure smooth handling also of statically charged and conductive films. The versatile software provides comprehensive evaluation options, making LEFT 500 a practical and efficient tool for continuous film thickness control.

TEST METHOD

An inductive sensor scans the film and thickness variations are registered in the LEFT 500 software program. During sample feeding, specially coated low friction antistatic surfaces with bilateral dust remover are applied. This allows for smooth measurement of statically charged and conductive films. Standardized according to DIN 53370 and DIN 55543.

BENEFITS

  • Simple handling
    After presenting the film sample to LEFT 500, the monitoring of the thickness is accomplished fully automatically. No expert personnel is needed.
  • Industry conform
    The Test principle of LEFT 500 was developed in cooperation with synthetic film producers.
  • Numerous application areas
    Synthetic film, metal foil, paper etc.

TEST STANDARDS

DIN 53370, DIN 55543
