Oxford CMI-165/563 Portable Copper Thickness Gauge
About Us
The CMI-165 and CMI-563 provide surface Copper thickness measurements
especially for the quality control needs of the Printed Circuit Board industry.

Measurements on Copper are affected by the temperature of the sample.  
The CMI-165 accounts for temperature in the measurement of thickness
ensuring accurate in-process inspection results regardless of Copper
temperature.  

Both probes utilize Oxford Instruments proprietary micro-resistance
technology featuring economical, user-replaceable measurement tips.

In addition, the CMI-511 is similar to the 563 but specifically designed for
plated thru-hole (PTH)
