Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a thickness gauge, in particular to a 5-point moving contact thickness gauge. Background Art
[0002] This equipment is used in the high-end, high-frequency copper clad laminate (CCL) industry. This type of application requires extremely high thickness uniformity of the plate. Currently, there are two types of thickness gauges in the industry: one is a single-point contact thickness gauge, and the other is a three-group, nine-point laser thickness gauge. These two types of thickness gauges cannot meet the quality control requirements of high-frequency copper clad laminates, as follows:
[0003] 1. Single-point contact thickness gauge: Equipped with a high-precision sensor, it can achieve precise detection and analysis of thickness uniformity. However, it only measures one point at a time, which is inefficient. Moreover, the substrate needs to be moved for measurement, which can easily cause the surface of the substrate to be tested to be scratched, resulting in product defects, and cannot be used for mass production.
[0004] 2. Laser thickness gauge: It can measure in motion or at rest, and the number of test points can be set by yourself. It is very convenient and large-scale. However, since laser testing has very high requirements for the flatness, surface color, surface roughness, powder residue, and lighting environment of the product, the actual test results are very different from the accuracy of the instrument. The actual accuracy is above ±0.005. At present, the laser thickness measurement function of the entire industry is only used to detect whether the specifications and quantity of internal materials are incorrect, and to screen out insufficient edge thickness due to severe glue flow during pressing. The suspicious products screened out still need to be finally confirmed by a contact thickness gauge, and cannot be used for strict thickness control and analysis of product thickness uniformity.
