Thickness measurement is one of the main activities in production processes in industry and in the laboratory.
Choosing the appropriate equipment is essential to ensuring the precision required in the production process. An effective way to measure thickness precisely is to use contact thickness gauges, also known as digital contact gauges or contact micrometers.
Contact thickness gauges are precise measuring instruments with measuring ranges from 0 to 300 millimetres (12″). They are fitted with contact probing systems that allow accurate and efficient thickness measurement. They also offer the possibility of using standardised setting masters as a reference for the most accurate measurements. Brands such as RODER, Kaefer and Mitutoyo have developed state-of-the-art equipment that ensures reliable performance in production and in laboratory metrology.
Highly versatile and efficient digital contact thickness gauges have a unique feature: arms of different throat depths, which make it possible to take measurements in situations that are difficult to reach, such as sharp internal or external corners. They are easy to use thanks to their intuitive interfaces, with LCD display and conveniently placed buttons.

Thickness measuring systems are fundamental both in metrology laboratories and on production lines. Digital contact units, such as micrometers and contact gauges, are essential tools for accurate thickness measurement.
A digital contact machine can be equipped with a transducer that acts as the starting point. The transducer generates a signal proportional to the distance between the surface of the material under test and the end point of the sensor.
Most of the instruments available on the market have a high-definition LCD display that shows the measured readings in analogue or digital mode, allowing the operator to acquire quickly the data needed for analysis. In addition, most digital contact units also provide supplementary information on the direction and depth of the surface tested.
The use of digital contact units has become increasingly widespread in industrial applications in recent years, as they are proving ever more valuable for thickness measurement in modern automated production.
With their large number of advanced functions, these units have made it possible to obtain precise results quickly when measuring thickness accurately in industrial production or in a standardised metrology laboratory.
The innovative technologies made available by the most advanced manufacturers have made the use of digitally controlled calibrations in industry even more efficient.
Contact thickness gauges with a deep throat, suitable for measuring the thickness of textile products, strip, sheet metal or any sheet product. The large bow allows measurement at points that are difficult to reach with traditional measuring instruments.
On some models, a pressure system determined by a weight makes it possible to set the pressing force on the sample precisely and to keep the weight/measuring surface ratio constant.
Pocket Dial thickness gauges are used to measure the thickness of a wide range of materials such as leather, cardboard, paper, felt, rubber, glass, sheet metal, metal, film, plywood and plastic. The shape of the contact points must be matched to the material to be measured. If contact points other than the standard ones are required, this must be stated in the order. (Example: J 45 with spherical contact points).
Standard contact points are flat, 6.35 mm in diameter, unless otherwise specified in the order. The other three anvils shown below are available on request. The type of contact point does not affect the price of the dial thickness gauge. Thickness gauges K 15, K 15, K 15/2, J 15, J 15 and J 45 with 10 or 14 mm Ø contact points, ground flat at the bottom, are available at a surcharge. In this case the instrument is placed flat on the table and is therefore best suited to batch measurements of small components.
