3000FX SERIES Coating Thickness Gauge
The Checkline 3000FX series of coating thickness gauges is designed to deliver fast, non-destructive, and exceptionally precise measurements across a wide range of applications. Ideal for evaluating varnish, paint, and galvanic coatings on ferrous metals as well as paint, varnish, and anodised coatings on non-ferrous metals and even austenitic stainless steels, this series is an indispensable tool for ensuring a reliable and aesthetically pleasing finish on any product.
Key Features:
- 3 Available Models:
- DCF-3000FX: Designed for measurements on ferrous metals.
- DCN-3000FX: Specialised for measurements on non-ferrous metals.
- DCFN-3000FX: Provides a combined solution for measurements on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
- Wide Measurement Range: Ranging from 0 to 1500 µm (0 to 60 mils), ideal for controlling coating thickness in various industrial applications.
- Multifunctional Interface: Fully menu-driven for fast, professional, and precise operation.
- High-Quality External Probes: Manufactured to extremely high standards and equipped with a unique hard-metal probe tip that minimises wear.
- Special Accessory: A V-notched footer provides a stable base for small cylindrical parts, which can be removed to reveal a "micro-probe" sensor perfect for measuring on small surfaces and components.
Key Benefits:
- Non-Destructive Measurement: Ensures that the surfaces evaluated remain undamaged during inspection.
- Precision and Reliability: Consistent results that guarantee a high-quality finish, essential for corrosion protection and mechanical performance.
- Versatility of Application: Ideal for a wide range of industries, from automotive to construction, where coating thickness is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality.
- Ease of Use: Its intuitive digital interface allows for simple control, whether in the laboratory or in the field, optimising time and productivity.
