1. Stamping & Sheet Metal QC (Automotive/Aerospace)

On press lines and in final inspection, the 547-321 verifies bracket, shim, and panel thickness at multiple points to reveal tool wear or springback early. Its clear digital readout speeds sampling, reducing rework and scrap. Operators can quickly compare readings against job travelers or control charts, keeping die maintenance on schedule and ensuring parts meet gauge and weight targets before they move to welding or assembly.

2. Flexible Packaging Films & Laminates

In film extrusion and lamination, slight thickness drift can ruin sealing performance and add material cost. The 547-321 enables rapid, repeatable checks across edge, center, and crossover zones on-sheet. Instant readings help technicians dial in nip pressure and line speed, maintain gauge uniformity, and validate supplier rolls on receipt. The smooth measuring action protects delicate films while providing the consistency needed for SPC and regulatory documentation.

3. Rubber & Foam Gaskets / Die-Cut Seals

For sealing performance, uniform thickness matters as much as material choice. The 547-321 lets quality teams verify calendered sheets and finished die-cuts without slowing production. Consistent measuring contact reduces variability on compressible materials, helping correlate thickness with compression set and leak test results. Use it at incoming inspection to sort supplier lots, in-process to tune cutting parameters, and final QC to ensure every gasket meets print tolerance.

4. PCB & Copper-Clad Laminate Fabrication

During board build, laminate thickness directly affects impedance and drill accuracy. The 547-321 supports quick checks of cores, prepregs, and solder mask build at defined grid points. Fast digital readings make it easy to record data for travelers and SPC, catching out-of-spec lots before lamination or imaging. By confirming uniform stack-up thickness, process engineers stabilize electrical performance and reduce rework on high-layer-count and RF-sensitive designs.
