QNix® IN USE FOR SURFACE COATING
Precision and accuracy
To increase the accuracy of measurement results, a coating thickness gauge must be adjusted before use. Adjustment (also known as calibration) adapts the devices to the properties of the basic substrate.
The two coating thickness gauges QNix® 9500 and QNix® 8500 have several calibration functions to ensure the correct measurement result. The calibration memory allows you to save calibrations and save time for recurring applications.
Area of application
The interchangeable probe enables precise measurements of thin, non-ferromagnetic metal coatings such as chrome, copper, zinc as well as paints, enamels or plastic coatings on ferromagnetic substrates.
Measuring on small parts
Only the correct coating thickness for small steel parts, such as screws or bolts, guarantees good adhesive strength and sufficient protection against corrosion. The optimized pin probe MI Fe 500 μm, which is available for the QNix® 8500, reduces interfering measurement effects at edges. Users can measure much closer to edges and therefore also precisely on small parts.
