Compact enclosure Fiber coupled sensor head Integrated data processor Server software for accessing data Can produce processed or raw data Single umbilical for transceiver heads Multiple sensor heads available Easy switching between products Digital inputs available for data tagging T-Gauge ® Sensor Configuration T-GAUGE ® The T-Gauge ® Sensor Configuration changes the paradigm of online process control. By coupling a T-Gauge Pulsed Terahertz Controller with an umbilical and a Sensor head, a high fidelity terahertz pulse can be produced. The rich data derived from the pulsed terahertz signal allows multiple measurements from a single sensor. The multitude of connection options allows seamless integration with any QCS system. Measurements of basis weight, density, caliper thickness, multi-layer thickness and moisture can be made with a single compact sensor technology. The T-Gauge ® Pulsed Terahertz Controller is the heart of the T-Gauge ® Sensor Configuration. The Controller comprises the short pulse laser, time delay rail, and data collection electronics. With a waveform acquisition time of 10ms, the TCU5210 is the fastest, full featured time domain terahertz controller available. FEATURES Industrial process control Nondestructive materials inspection Package inspection Semiconductor wafer inspection Converting applications Multi-layer thickness measurement Building products Paper and paper coaters Foams and foam products APPLICATIONS By using pulse Time-of-Flight (ToF) to make its measurements, the T- Gauge ® Sensor Configuration has greater insensitivity to environmental and material variations that can lead to calibration inaccuracies. The terahertz energy emitted by the T-Gauge ® Sensor is so low, that there are no safety concerns with operation. No radioactive materials and no ionizing radiation is used.
