Range of probes for QNix^® 8500

  - QNix^® 8500 Wireless Probe

Innovative, wireless coating thickness measurement.

• Wireless probe for stable and safe measurements – even in areas with difficult access – easy-to-use, only 30 g weight;
• Available as Fe, NFe and dual probe with a maximum of up to 5,000 µm measuring range;
• With high measuring accuracy;
• Wireless probe is charged via gauge;
• At least 2000 readings without re-charging.

Application examples:

• Measurements in areas with difficult access or in safety critical areas, e. g. during building, refurbishment, and safety projects, in the construction of planes, ships, and bridges;
• Confirmatory measurements on steel constructions during rough everyday operations in changing and harsh environments;
• Measurements of large surfaces or in great heights, on scaffolds, facades, elevators or ladders. Here, the low weight and the wireless transmission of the reading are beneficial.

- QNix^® 8500 Pen Probe

Pen probe Mi Fe 500 µm for precision measurements on small parts or near edges.

General Features:

• Magnetic, inductive, rugged measuring probe thanks to stainless steel finish
  with a measuring range of up to 500 µm;
• Measurement of thin, non-ferromagnetic metal coatings
  (e.g. chromium, copper, zinc);
• Measurement of paint, enamel or copper coatings
  on ferromagnetic substrates;
• Optional accessory: measuring stand and sample holders.

Application Examples:

• Measurements of angles, washers, screws, bolts, nuts and friction-locked connections;
• Ensures reliable protective coatings on steel bolts and nuts as used in rotor mountings for wind energy plants or bridges and window fasteners;
• Measurements of PVD coatings such as TiN, TiCrN, CrN and TiAIN.

Accessories:

• Measuring stand;
• Sample holder.

Scope of Supply:
