Digital dial thickness gauge – SA0620DGT

The digital dial thickness gauge is a practical solution for measuring the thickness of different materials, especially when a wider contact area is required compared to a traditional micrometer. This configuration makes it particularly suitable for inspections on flexible, compressible or delicate materials, but also in all applications where rapid and convenient inspection directly in production is required.

The operating principle is simple: the material is placed between the two flat contacts and the detected movement is shown directly on the digital display. In this way, the digital thickness gauge allows the operator to read the value immediately, without interpretation errors, making it particularly practical for frequent inspections in production departments or for checking samples taken directly from the line.

One of the main advantages of this digital dial thickness gauge is the presence of 10 mm flat contacts, which distribute the contact pressure over a wider surface. This helps reduce localized pressure on the material, an important aspect when measuring plastic films, thin plastic materials, paper, cardboard, leather and other materials where excessive pressure could affect the inspection result.

From an operational point of view, this instrument is very practical because it can be used directly near the machine or production line. It is therefore useful whenever thickness must be measured directly on rolls, sheets, semi-finished products or components in production without moving each sample to a separate inspection area. This makes inspections faster and closer to real production conditions.

The series is available with a 10 mm travel in all versions, while the measuring depth can be 30 mm or 120 mm. The 30 mm version is suitable for inspections close to edges, while the 120 mm version is more suitable when the inspection point is positioned deeper inside the material or component.

Both 0.01 mm resolution versions and 0.001 mm resolution versions are available. This allows the user to choose the most suitable digital thickness gauge according to the required level of detail: the centesimal version is suitable for standard inspections, while the millesimal version is more suitable when higher reading accuracy is required.

Among the useful functions, this digital instrument also includes zero setting in any position, allowing the operator to set the zero reference point wherever required for easier comparative inspections or repetitive controls. The mm/inch conversion function is also included, useful when technical specifications are expressed in different measurement units.

In everyday use, this thickness gauge is particularly appreciated when rapid, repeatable and easy-to-read inspections are required. The combination of digital display, flat contacts and practical operation makes it a valid solution for thickness inspection on materials that often need to be checked directly in production departments.

Applications

• Thickness measurement on plastic films and semi-finished materials
• Inspection of plastic films and thin plastic materials in rolls or sheets
• Thickness verification on paper, cardboard and similar materials
• Inspection of leather, flexible materials and compressible surfaces
• Direct inspection on rolls or components in production
• Rapid inspections in production departments and quality control
• Thickness comparison in multiple areas of the same material
• Applications where flat contacts reduce localized pressure

FAQ – Digital dial thickness gauge

What is a digital dial thickness gauge?
It is a measuring instrument used to check the thickness of materials and components through direct digital reading of the measured value.

What is a digital thickness gauge used for?
It is used to quickly verify the thickness of different materials, especially when practical inspections are required directly in production or quality departments.

How does a digital dial thickness gauge work?
The material is inserted between two flat contacts and the detected movement is displayed directly on the screen, allowing immediate thickness reading.

Why are 10 mm flat contacts useful?
Because they distribute the contact pressure over a wider surface and help reduce localized pressure on the material.

When is it preferable to a micrometer?
It is particularly useful for flexible, thin or compressible materials and whenever practical inspections directly on production materials are required.

Which materials can be inspected with this instrument?
It can be used on plastic films, thin plastic materials, paper, cardboard, leather and similar materials.

Can it be used directly in production?
Yes, it is particularly practical for inspections carried out near the production line or directly on the material being processed.

What is the difference between the centesimal and millesimal version?
The centesimal version has 0.01 mm resolution, while the millesimal version reaches 0.001 mm and allows more detailed readings.

What travel is available?
All versions feature a 10 mm travel.

Which measuring depths are available?
Versions with 30 mm and 120 mm measuring depth are available.

When should the 120 mm measuring depth version be selected?
It is recommended when the inspection point is positioned further inside the material or component and not close to the edge.

What is the purpose of zero setting in any position?
It allows the operator to set the zero reference point wherever required, making comparative and repetitive inspections easier.

What is the purpose of mm/inch conversion?
It allows rapid switching between millimeters and inches when required by inspection specifications.

Who is this digital thickness gauge recommended for?
It is recommended for production departments, quality control and operators who need to verify thickness quickly and practically directly on the material.

What are the most common mistakes when using a digital dial thickness gauge?
The most common mistakes are placing the material incorrectly between the contacts, measuring in non-representative areas of the component or using a measuring depth not suitable for the inspection point.
