Parallelism Measurement with 3 Channels

Capacitec Launches A New Gapmaster3 Gen₃ Portable Triple Channel Capacitance Amplifier Package for Parallelism/Gap Measurement

Capacitec, Inc. (Capacitec), a leading ISO9001: 2008 certified designer and manufacturer of non-contact capacitive displacement, gap and parallelism sensing systems, has announced the global market debut of the Gapmaster3 _Gen3.

Additional features include: fully portable package powered by 3 AA lithium batteries with a minimum battery life of 14 hours with continuous use; bright blue alphanumeric Active Matrix OLED display; external unit selector button for inches, mils, millimeters or microns; an industry standard USB Type A combination data output and external power port and a simplified PC user interface via included Gapman Reader software.

With a compact form factor measuring just 2.2" x 8.7" x1.1" (56 x 220 x 28 mm) and weighing less than one pound (454 grams), the Gapmaster3 _Gen3 features improved high-precision capacitive sensing technology as its predecessor, with an impact resistant highly rugged enclosure. The Gapmaster3 uses standard and custom sensor probes that are backwards compatible,

Gapmaster3 _Gen3 can be used to effectively measure gaps within a wider range of applications including: semiconductor wafer parallelism; 2 to 3 point slot die coater to media parallelism; roller parallelism; engine fan blade gap measurement and generic 1, 2 or 3-point dimensional measurement.
