Achieving reliable thickness measurement in a production environment

Target materials and production processes influence how product thickness is measured. Methods may involve setting roller gaps, adjusting extrusion dies, or monitoring poured and cured materials such as glass, rubber, or metal. Secondary processes can include layered or bonded materials like carbon fibre. Measurement challenges vary, from gaps and roller systems to free space or single-sided checks on transparent materials. This webinar from Micro-Epsilon UK will illustrate a range of measurement techniques for these challenges

Northern Ireland Engineering Excellence Lecture & Networking Evening

This year, we are refreshing our annual event format, replacing the traditional sit-down dinner with an evening lecture and buffet reception. The programme will retain two key highlights, our Chair's Address and presentation of the Engineering Excellence Award, while offering even greater opportunities for networking in a more relaxed setting. The evening's keynote speaker will be Garret Kavanagh of Openreach, this year's NI Engineering Excellence Award recipient, recognised for his outstanding contribution to the rollout of full fibre broadband across Northern Ireland. Drawing on his experience leading major telecommunications infrastructure projects, including the achievement of Northern Ireland's full fibre coverage milestone, Garret will share insights into delivering complex engineering programmes and connecting rural and hard-to-reach communities through next-generation digital infrastructure.
