The new Adaptive Seam Thickness gauge utilizes a special design in order to measure the seam thickness at the precise chuck wall angle. By adapting to the chuck wall angle, the thickness gauge produces a far more accurate and correct seam thickness measurement than was previously possible. This new design increases accuracy and repeatability dramatically. Gauge resolution is .0005” or .0001”, and the measurement readings can be transferred automatically into the WACO Accuseam system.
