TMS
Minigage: Short Standoff Non-Contact Thickness Gage
Up to 6 inch standoff
2 (two) 18mm diameter gage heads
per measurement
Thickness Minigage
The thickness MINIGAGE is similar to the TMS-5000 except for
the sensor, sensor housing, sensor alignment, air service and
price.
Air service-Employs an internal fan/filter within the sensor
housing, drawing power from the MINIGAGE controller,
eliminating the need for an external fan, filter and steam
hose used in the 5000 series. The MINIGAGE should not be used
in environments where there is moderate to heavy airborne
contamination.
