Manufacturer: Checkline
Warranty: One Year
The new Check-Line 3000PRO Series coating thickness gauge is a multifunctional fully menu driven gauge for fast, professional and precise coating thickness measurement for:
- paint and electroplated coatings on iron and steel
- paint and anodizing coatings on non-ferrous metals and on austenitic stainless steels
The user will select the model best suited for their application. All the probes are interchangeable and their internal calibration is stored within a small microchip inside the probe connector housing. This provides for quick and easy hot-swapping from one probe to any other in seconds.
Six (6) different models are offered for a wide variety of applications.
