When accuracy and efficiency are critical to your manufacturing process, investing in the right measurement tools can make all the difference. At Delcom Instruments, we develop and supply advanced sheet thickness sensors and film thickness sensors trusted by Minnesota-based manufacturers across high-tech, automotive, packaging, and semiconductor sectors.

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Delcom has built a reputation for delivering cutting-edge non-contact measurement solutions tailored to today’s most demanding industrial applications. Whether you’re working with conductive films, layered coatings, or ultra-thin substrates, our technology ensures consistent results, real-time monitoring, and improved process control.

Why Thickness Measurement Matters in Modern Manufacturing

Sheet and film materials are used across a wide range of industries—from circuit boards and packaging films to automotive coatings and medical devices. For these materials to perform correctly, their thickness must be precise and uniform throughout.

Variations in thickness can lead to product defects, compromised functionality, and increased material waste. In sectors where safety and performance are key, like aerospace or medical electronics, these discrepancies can have costly and even dangerous consequences.

This is where Delcom’s advanced sheet thickness sensor systems come in. Our non-contact measurement technology enables manufacturers to inspect and monitor materials in real-time, without interrupting production. This helps reduce scrap, improve quality assurance, and ensure each product meets strict regulatory and industry standards.

What Makes Delcom’s Thickness Sensors Different?

Delcom specializes in non-destructive, non-contact measurement using eddy current technology, which enables precise evaluation of conductive and semi-conductive materials. Unlike mechanical calipers or optical sensors, our systems work seamlessly on moving lines and with delicate materials that traditional tools could damage.

Our sensors deliver:

• High-resolution accuracy for ultra-thin layers
• Real-time data output for immediate feedback and corrections
• Stable performance even in high-speed or harsh environments
• Flexible integration into new or existing production lines

Our flagship models, like the Delcom sheet thickness sensor, are designed to deliver reliable performance in both R&D environments and continuous manufacturing setups. They support quality control teams by simplifying compliance, boosting throughput, and lowering overall cost per unit.

Designed for Diverse Industries in Minnesota

Minnesota is home to a diverse range of advanced manufacturers, and our sensor technology supports them all. Our systems are particularly valuable in:

Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing

In microelectronics, thin film deposition requires nanometer-level control. Our film thickness sensors help monitor uniformity across substrates, contributing to greater chip efficiency and lower rejection rates.

Automotive and Aerospace

For components that require precise coating applications, our sensors ensure materials like paint, adhesives, or composites are applied to exact specifications—critical for performance, safety, and durability.

Flexible Packaging and Film Production

When producing multilayer packaging films or specialty plastic sheets, our tools help maintain the ideal thickness across the roll, minimizing waste and improving product integrity.

Research and Development

R&D labs in Minnesota turn to our sensors to test new materials, optimize production parameters, and scale pilot projects with precision measurement data they can trust.

Local Expertise, Global Performance

While Delcom serves companies nationwide, our roots in Minnesota allow us to deliver personalized service and rapid support to local clients. We understand the regional manufacturing landscape and the challenges Minnesota industries face—from regulatory compliance to labor shortages and cost control.

When you partner with Delcom, you get more than just a tool—you get:

• Experienced engineering support before and after installation
• Calibration services and upgrades to maintain peak performance
• Customizable sensor solutions that meet your material and workflow needs

As a Minnesota-based manufacturer, we are proud to help other local companies compete globally through technology, precision, and smart automation.
