MiniTest FH New MiniTest FH

MiniTest FH with standard probe FH 4 in stand for measuring the thickness of a glass bottle

fast and efficient thickness measuring on a plastic bottle for production or Quality control

A 90 degree FH 4 sensor used in a stand measuring the thickness of an aluminium Nespresso cup with the online trend screen on the gauge, showing statistical graph and real time trend.

The FH 2 sensor can be used in places where the FH 4 can't get a proper access to measure

The HH 2 sensor with a measuring range of 0-2 mm, for use on small components with cavities and difficult to access geometry

Special version of the FH 4 sensor using a steel wire as reference instead of a steel ball. This FH sensor offers wall thickness measurement in turbine blades or any other applications that do not allow the risk of dropping and irretrievably losing the steel ball.

The FH4-1 is, for example, used with Medical products such as syringes, infusion sets, synthetic hearts, stents etc..

Sensor types FH 4 and FH 10 as well as their magnetic versions can be equipped with replaceable sensor caps. Wherever the customer encounters the issue that the sensor tip may suffer from mechanical shocks (punctual placement on hard material), it may be advisable to work with a sensor that offers to replace the sensor cap.

The MiniTest FH is rated IP65, splash proof and can be used in harsch conitions

MiniTest FH Measuring Principle

	MiniTest FH uses a Hall element to capture variations in the electromagnetic field and converts them into at thickness value. Thickness is determined by measuring the distance of a reference ball or other reference object to the sensor tip. A powerful magnet attracts the reference ball to the sensor and holds the ball in exact place on the sensor tip. The magnetic field varies according to the distance between target ball and sensor tip. The variations of the magnetic field increase with the distance between target ball and sensor tip getting smaller. The variation can be taken as a reference for the material thickness of the sample to be measured.

MiniTest FH Sensor Options

	Spring loaded measuring stand All sensors, excluding the 90° version, come with a spring-loaded measuring stand included in the package. This stand serves the purpose of securing the sensor in an upright position, facilitating the precise measurement of objects by guiding them comfortably over the sensor tip.
	1mm ball or Wire reference FH4-1 In addition to its standard applications, the FH4 sensor is available in specialized versions tailored for specific measuring tasks. Particularly in the medical sector, where measuring small parts with narrow passages is common, the FH4-1 sensor type is ideal. This variant is designed for tasks like measuring the wall thickness of tubes, artificial organs, stents, infusion sets, etc., using a target ball with a diameter as small as 1 mm. FH4-Wire Certain applications pose challenges that preclude the use of measuring balls, often due to the risk of irretrievability within the object being measured. In such cases, the FH sensor offers a unique solution in the form of the FH4-Wire sensor. This variant employs a measuring wire instead of a ball, making it indispensable for testing turbine blades, where the wall thickness can be accurately determined against a wire inserted into the cooling holes.
	FH2 Sensors The small tip FH2 sensor is used for measuring in small spaces and areas that are difficult to access. Like the bottom cavities of pet bottles and small components with a difficult to access geometry.
	Repleceable tip caps for heavy wear applications For situations where ther is a lot of wear to be expected on a measuring tip, a sensor with a replaceable wear tip is available
	90° sensors for hard to reach area's The FH2 and FH4 sensors are also available in a 90° angle version for acces where standard sensors are not able to measure. Angled sensors are technically similar as their straight versions.
