• Manual and automatic test modes can be selected by the users
• Calibration of multiple points can improve the linearity of the whole test range, which ensures the accuracy of measured results.
• Standard gauge block is available for fast calibration

High Efficiency

The instrument is featured with high efficiency and automatic design of structure, which minimize the human operation in measuring process. Intelligent controlling and data processing functions make it easy and reliable for test operation and data processing.

• Parameter program function enables the user to save all test parameters in a file so that those parameters can be applied directly for the same tests next time, which can help the user save time and minimize the error when inputting parameters manually.
• Test results include maximum value, minimum value, average value and standard variation, which can be displayed to the user directly.
• Result comparison function can help the user in evaluation of results.
• Auto sampling function (optional), feeding space, feeding speed, measure points can be set as required, which ensures the accuracy of multiple successive points measurement.

Intelligent

The instrument is embedded with Labthinks latest operating software, which is featured with user-friendly interface, intelligent data processing, strict user management and secure data storage. It also supports Labthink exclusive DataShieldTM (Optional) which provides the users with safe and reliable management of test data and test reports.

• Test data can be displayed in various forms including curves and data list
• Test data will be saved and encrypted in a unique way so that all the test information will be saved securely and reliably and protected from being tampered
• Various forms of test data can be searched, exported and printed out

Note: The described features should be in line with Table 1: Test Parameters.
Note1: The Repeatability refers to the repeatability within the test range.

Test Principle

The pre-conditioned specimen is placed on a flat test plane, the pressure foot which is paralleled to the test plane will drop down on the upper surface of the specimen with certain pressure applied on. The displacement sensor with the pressure foot will detect the space between the upper and lower surface of the specimen, which is the thickness of the specimen.

Advanced Testing Technology for Packaging

The APT-300 Thickness Tester uses high-precision strain gauge sensors and microcomputer controls to ensure accurate and consistent results. Its pressure and displacement detection principle guarantees that package thickness and parallelism assessments are both reliable and precise, supporting stringent quality standards in laboratory and industrial environments.


Flexible and User-Friendly Operation

Designed for versatility, the APT-300 accommodates specimens up to 100 mm wide and 50 mm thick. Calibration can be performed automatically or manually, and sample testing can be adjusted for 1 to 3 specimens, promoting efficiency. Its digital LCD display and simple interface enable users to operate the instrument with minimal training.


Reliable Data Management and Safety

Data integrity is central to the APT-300, featuring automatic data storage for up to 500 test sets and convenient USB/RS232 output.
