Price: $1,640.00 to $2,390.00
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.
Features
- Automatic identification of the substrate
- Calibration-free measurements (calibration only in exceptional cases)
- Mobile and stationary operation with only one gauge
- Highly wear-resistant measuring poles made of carbide metal
- The 3000PRO Coating Thickness Gauge features special probes for unusual measurement tasks
- Precise measurements on different geometries thanks to simple calibration methods
- Safe use even for special applications such as sand-blasted surfaces, small parts and curved surfaces
- Scan mode for the quick recognition of coating thickness variations on large surfaces, including display of minimum and maximum readings
- Display backlight for bad ambient lighting conditions
- Online statistics with all statistical parameters
- Easy to operate, well-known from mobile phones
- Intuitive menu guidance via dialog with the user
- Free choice of language – German, English, French
- Extensive data memory for the management of different measurement series
- Alphanumerical file names can be individually stored for every measurement task
- Infrared interface for wireless data transfer to printer and PC
- No additional data transfer software required thanks to the use of Windows® standard application (HyperTerminal)
- Optional high temperature footer for measuring on surfaces up to 150 °C/302 °F
- The 3000PRO Coating Thickness Gauge includes NIST Calibration Certificate
- 1 Year Warranty
