Thickness measurement

The thickness measurement of the cylinder, done via ultrasonic devices, gives you a clear overview of the functionality of the safety vessels. For example, if an abrasive product is wearing out the cylinder fast, it may create a safety risk of cross-contamination; this would allow you to promptly replace your unit's blades by keeping track of their condition.
