Positector 6000AN Coating Thickness Gauge
Accurate Measurement of Anodising
The PosiTector 6000AN is a versatile and robust coating thickness gauge specifically designed to measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings, such as anodising and paint, applied to non-ferrous metals. Using eddy current principles, this device delivers fast and precise measurements over a range of 0 to 625 µm (0 to 25 mils), with an exceptional resolution of 0.1 µm.
Key Features:
- Precise Measurement: A range of 0 to 625 µm and a resolution of 0.1 µm ensure exact results on anodised coatings.
- Advanced Technology: Utilises eddy current principles to non-destructively measure coating thickness on non-ferrous metals.
- Flexible Configurations: Available in three configurations – BASIC (1), STANDARD (2) and MEMORY (3) – allowing you to select the set of functions that best meet your specific application needs.
- Robust Design: Built to withstand demanding industrial environments, ensuring durability and reliability over time.
Key Benefits:
- Optimal Quality Control: Accurately measures coating thickness to ensure high-quality finishes and compliance with required standards.
- Non-Destructive Operation: Evaluates the coating without damaging the surface, preserving the integrity of the finish.
- Versatility of Application: Ideal for industries working with non-ferrous metals, delivering reliable results in anodising and other coating processes.
- Customisable Configuration: With three configuration levels available, it adapts to diverse operational needs, optimising performance in thickness control.
