The ThicknessPen is the latest in Agr’s line of products developed to address the multiple and diverse thickness measure applications of the production environment. It’s small size, light weight and robust design mean it can be used just about anywhere, from the laboratory, the plant floor or even in a wet environment at a job site in the field.

The ThicknessPen differs from other measurement devices with its patent pending, dual-mode operation that offers users the option to measure using either a magnetic or capacitance mode, whichever is most appropriate for the application.

With the magnetic mode, a magnetic target ball is used during measurements. It provides the high measurement precision necessary for thin, non-ferrous materials such as ultra-lightweight containers and packaging while offering a robust, easy to operate measurement tool.

Capacitance mode provides the means to perform single sided measurement without the need for a target ball. It offers a quick, “touch and go“ measurement approach and is ideal for measuring large containers, sheet material and large shaped parts where the use of a target ball is not practical.

With the ThicknessPen App a smartphone or tablet the operator can control the type and size of data displayed. The system software never goes out of date and upgrades are easily handled. Using Bluetooth technology, no cables or wires for operation are needed. When the pen is used remotely without a phone or tablet, data can be easily transferred from the pen and stored in the App when returned to the base station.
