An arrangement for measuring a thickness of a sheet article during a sheet article transportation, especially for measuring the thickness of an X-ray sheet film in an X-ray cassette loading and unloading device, has a magnet carrier arranged in a spring-biased manner on a sheet article transportation path perpendicularly to one side of the transportation path, a permanent magnet arranged on the magnet carrier near the first side of the magnet transportation path, at least one roller body arranged on the magnet carrier rotatably in a transportation direction of the sheet aarticle, a probe carrier fixedly arranged parallel to a second side of the transportation path opposite to the matnet carrier, a Hall probe arranged on the probe carrier opposite to the permanent magnet, at least one roller body arranged on the probe carrier. The probe carrier has a number of the roller bodies which corresponds to a number of the roller bodies on the magnet carrier. The roller bodies of the magnet carrier and the probe carrier rolling over one another in a plane of the transportation path. A control unit evaluates an output signal of the Hall probe.

Device for measuring thickness of sheet article with magnet and probe

A supply magazine has a drawer-shaped, upwardly open box for introducing a sheet film stack in a light-tight envelope and for withdrawing individual sheet films after removal of the envelope, a cover part movable relative to the box, a unit for winding the envelope in a closed condition of the magazine. The cover part is formed as a flat parallelepiped which is open at its front small side and such that the box which is open at its upper side can be moved in and out of the cover part, a locking mechanism operates for locking the cover part and the box when the box is moved in. A lockable and swingable flap cover is provided on a flat side of the cover part corresponding to the upper side of the box so that when the box is moved in the cover part a sheet film stack can be inserted in the box through the flap cover.
