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

Digital Hearing Aid Technology

Hearing is the detection and interpretation of pressure waves. It attempts to answer the what and where questions, as well as interpreting the sound. Human hearing is complex and very sophisticated. The talk will review how hearing works from the outer ear to the auditory cortex. Complex systems like hearing can fail in many different ways and hearing aids can help for some of these. The speaker will discuss the basics of digital hearing aids and which hearing impairments they can and cannot help with.
