QNix® 4500, QNix® 4200
Coating thickness gauges from QNix®:
Fast, precise and easy-to-use
QNix® 4500 / 4200 is our recommendation for heavy-duty corrosion protection, industrial coating and vehicle evaluation
The coating thickness gauges in the 4000 series from QNix® provide you with precise and fast measurement results, are easy to operate – and extremely robust
Are you looking for a universal and proven coating thickness gauge? Do you not need a measured value memory or software-supported evaluation for your area of application? Then the QNix® 4200 for measurements on Fe or the QNix® 4500 for measurements on Fe and NFe is the right coating thickness gauge for you.Reliable measurement results for Fe and NFe
Thousands of users around the world have been using the coating thickness gauges in the 4000 series for years. As a user, you can also benefit from these successful models. The QNix® 4200 provides you with reliable measurement results on steel and iron (Fe). The QNix® 4500 can be used to measure steel, iron (Fe) and non-ferrous metals (NFe) such as aluminum, zinc, copper or brass.Wide range of applications and “easy-to-use”
Devices from the QNix® 4000 series are available in various versions, for example with an integrated or cable probe or with an extended measuring range of up to 5 mm. This allows you to cover a very wide range of applications if required. We want to make your work easier as a user. That’s why every QNix® coating thickness gauge works according to our easy-to-use principle: set up, measure, read off.All QNix® benefits at a glance:
- Simple: put on – measure – read off
- High accuracy and precision
- Simple zero point adjustment
- Durable ruby measuring head tip
