ACCURA
GAUGE
PC-based X-ray Thickness Measurement
The Accura Gauge represents the industry standard in PC-based
gauging systems. Its Windows-based gauge software offers the
familiarity and flexibility that customers require, and its
designed to use off-the-shelf components to the extent possible.
The Accura is intended for use as a control gauge for rolling
mill applications, but can also be used on process lines.
It’s suitable for measuring the thickness of metals
(ferrous end non-ferrous), plastics and many other types of
materials.
Accura Gauges can measure thicknesses from 0.0002” (0.005
mm) to more than 2.0” (50 mm).

Gauge Specifications:
Response time:
The response time is a measure of the time lag between the
actual change in a measured thickness and the corresponding
change in the gauge's voltage output (AGC output). Typically
this is measured at a baseline thickness of 0. 100" of
steel. For the Accura, the response is adjustable to less
than 10 milliseconds, offering excellent production control.
Statistical Noise:
Random variation of the gauge signal 90% of the time, while
gauging on a static sample. Noise is expressed as a percentage
of the nominal thickness being measured. For steel, with an
air gap of 12", at a response of 10 milliseconds, typical
measured noise is +/- 0.10%.
Accuracy:
The accuracy of the gauge is within +/- 0.10% of the set thickness
of the precision master on which the gauge has been standardized.
Drift:
The drift of the gauge signal as recorded on a chart recorder
during an eight-hour period will not vary more than +/- 0.10%
from the set thickness. (This assumes that the gauge is warmed-up
for at least two hours, and that C-frame cooling is active
to offset ambient thermal transients.)
