Whether for industrial purposes or private customers: Users can measure thin layers and small parts using the QNix® 8500 and the pencil probe
If you are a user and need to finish metal or synthetic material, there’s no avoiding electroplating technology. Nowadays it is used in a wide variety of sectors both in the industry and in private applications.
Functional coatings create defined surface properties for protection against corrosion and wear. They offer chemical resistance or hardness, for instance. They can also fulfil decorative purposes by creating a high gloss. Quality assurance has a special task here: Because the layers are very thin, their area of tolerance is comparatively small.
The coating measurement gauge QNix® 8500 and the pencil probe are especially well-suited for quality checks for thin layers and small parts.
QNix® IN SURFACE FINISHING APPLICATIONS
Precision and accuracy
To increase the accuracy of measurement results, coating thickness gauges must be adjusted before use. This adjustment (also referred to as calibration) adapts the devices to the properties of the basic substrate.
The coating thickness gauge QNix® 8500 has several calibration functions to guarantee proper measurement results. You can use the calibration storage function to store calibrations and time for recurring applications.
Measuring on small parts
Only the proper layer thickness for small steel parts, such as screws and nuts, guarantees good adherence and sufficient protection against corrosion. The optimised pencil probe MI Fe 500 μm reduces disruptive measurement effects at edges. Users can measure much closer to edges and thus make precise measurements for small parts as well.
