Features & Benefits

The Model 6360 CD Stamper Thickness System is a semi-automated gaging platform and data analysis system for the measurement of compact disk or CD ROM stampers. It uses ADE’s patented non-contact capacitive sensors to determine the stamper thickness. An IBM® compatible personal computer (PC) is provided to run the gaging platform, acquire data and display results. A Microsoft Windows1 based application is provided to make measurements easy to acquire, store, recall and analyze. The 6360 is outfitted with a “Universal Platter” which holds nearly any size stamper. 

Automated Gaging Platform

• 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 every 2.5 mm.

• A “Universal Platter” accepts cut or uncut 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^TM Based System Software

• The Windows^TM based system software runs the gaging platform. It acquires and displays data for up to four 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 displayed or printed.
• The data can be displayed in either English or Metric units.
• ASCII data export is provided.

Thickness Statistics
• The software determines and displays maximum thickness, minimum thickness, average thickness and taper 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.)  

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.
