QNix® 1500 is our recommendation for vehicle valuation

The QNix® 1500 is reliable, easy to use and durable, making it the most popular coating thickness gauge in the automotive sector – and an indispensable tool for automotive experts.

Do you prepare accident and valuation reports and need a coating thickness gauge for vehicle valuation? Do you value easy operation and reliable results? Then the QNix® 1500 is the right measuring device for you. The 3-point support allows you to position the QNix® 1500 easily and securely and always obtain reliable measurement results. Two independent measuring probes allow you to recognize immediately on which basic substrate you are taking a measurement. You can perform coating thickness measurements on steel, iron (Fe) and non-ferrous metals (NFe) such as aluminum, zinc, copper or brass. We design every QNix® coating thickness gauge according to our easy-to-use principle: set up, measure, read.

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
