Zusammenfassung:Arrangement for electrically measuring coating thickness on travelling webs in vacuum deposition apparatus. A plurality of sensors are arranged with respect to a roller around which the web runs each with a spatially limited measuring region. These produce signals which represent a measure for the coating thickness. The signals can be indicated by an evaluating circuit. To avoid a falsification of the measuring signals as a result of the tendency of the travelling web to flutter, according to the invention the sensors (3,4,5) are arranged in the roller (1) against its surface and are distributed lengthwise of the roller. The sensors are connected to the evaluating circuit (7) by a transfer device (28). Preferably, the sensors rotate with the roller.
