Overview

The Gamma Backscatter Sensor (GBS) is an integrated source and detector instrument that provides a thickness or weight measurement from one side of the sheet. Its compact size allows product measurements to be taken from areas of the process that are often inaccessible to conventional sensors.  Unlike other gauges, the GBS sensor is unaffected by air gap temperature changes. Also, the sensor provides continuous measurement, either in fixed-point or scanning modes without the need to standardize. In addition, the GBS sensor family is relatively insensitive to factors that affect other gauges such as source decay, dust, material composition, and scanner alignment. This results in exceptionally stable measurement with long-term accuracy that requires very little maintenance.
