High-precision mechanical contact thickness gauge for pharmaceutical and food packaging, measuring thickness of films, paper, nonwovens, and more with 0.1μm resolution.
The Mechanical Contact Thickness Gauge uses a mechanical contact method to measure material thickness with high precision. A preconditioned sample is placed on a lower measurement surface, and an upper surface applies a standardized pressure (e.g., 17.5 kPa for films). A high-precision displacement sensor detects the distance between surfaces, yielding thickness with 0.1μm resolution.
Ideal for pharmaceutical and food packaging, it tests materials like plastic films, paper, nonwovens, and metal foils, ensuring consistent thickness for quality control and material optimization.
Compliant with ISO 4593, ASTM D6988, GB/T 6672, and other standards, this gauge delivers reliable results, trusted for GMP-compliant applications in the packaging industry.

A leading European pharmaceutical packaging company needed to ensure consistent thickness in blister packaging films to meet GMP standards. Manual testing methods were time-consuming and prone to errors.
They implemented the Mechanical Contact Thickness Gauge, leveraging its 0.1μm resolution and automated multi-point testing to measure film thickness with precision.
The implementation included optimizing test conditions (17.5 kPa pressure, 50 mm² contact area) and using GMP-compliant software for data traceability.
Results showed a 20% reduction in thickness deviation, 30% faster quality checks, and full GMP compliance, saving costs and boosting reliability.
“This gauge transformed our quality control, ensuring consistent film thickness,” said Medipack GmbH’s Quality Manager.
