Description

The Model 6360 CD Stamper Thickness System is a semi-automated gaging platform and data analysis system for the measurement of compact disc, DVD, CD-R, or CD-ROM stampers. It uses ADE’s patented non-contact capacitive sensors to determine the stamper thickness. A personal computer is provided to run the gaging platform, acquire data and display results. A Microsoft Windows based application is provided to make measurements easy to acquire, store, recall and analyze. The 6360 CD is outfitted with a "Universal Platter" which holds nearly any size stamper.

• The non-contact capacitive sensors never touch the stamper.
• The motorized arm positions the sensors for rapid traverse over an entire stamper radius. The thickness is measured continually and recorded every 2.5 mm.
• A "Universal Platter" accepts punched or unpunched stampers up to a diameter of 230 mm. Embedded magnets hold the stamper flat against the hub.
• The Universal Platter and application software are configured for 4 radial thickness scans 90° apart.

Windows Based System Software

• The Windows based system software controls the gaging platform. It acquires and displays data for radial scans with a color coded thickness display. Data can be stored in a built-in database.
• The Mouse pointer may be positioned over the color coded thickness graph to display numerical values.
• A thickness profile may be graphically displayed or printed.
• The data is displayed in either English or metric units.
• Data connectivity for network usage.

• The software determines and displays maximum thickness, minimum thickness, average thickness, and taper (TTV) for each measurement scan.
• A limit for maximum and minimum thickness may be set for pass/fail indication.
• The taper start and end points can be set by the user.

Built In Database

• A built-in database allows saving and recalling of thickness data along with other parameters.
• The database fields may be configured for tracking, sorting and reporting user defined criteria (i.e. selection, cut number, bath number, & operator, etc.)
• Custom software is available upon request.

Self Calibration & Diagnostics

• The system is automatically calibrated before each thickness scan using a built-in NIST traceable gage block.
• The platform’s operating status is monitored by built-in machine diagnostics and error trapping.
• Context sensitive help provides additional technical support.
