Infrared moisture and thickness meter (Some are Japan Only)

Contact Us

The IM series is moisture /thickness meter that can measure moisture, organic matter, film thickness, coating thickness, color density, etc. by utilizing the infrared absorption of the object being measured.
Up to 10 wavelengths can be used in the wavelength range from near infrared to infrared, allowing the amount of a variety of constituent to be measured.
In addition, up to four constituent can be measured simultaneously.

Real-time measurement of various constituent, moisture and thickness gauge using visible and infrared absorption

  • Absorbance measurement possible for up to 10 wavelengths
  • Up to four constituent can be measured simultaneously
  • A wide range of models to suit the measurement target
  • high-speed and high sensitivity measurement, multi-computation
  • Easy maintenance design with self-diagnostic function

Other features

The compact design saves space.
