The 6000 Series Coating Thickness Gauge is a precise and rugged, coating thickness gauges that use magnetic and eddy current principles to measure coating thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, accurately and quickly. No calibration adjustment is required for most applications.
The Positector's 2.8" impact-resistant color touchscreen features a redesigned keypad for quick menu navigation. An IP65-rated enclosure is watherproof, dustproof, and water-resistant. The probe has a wear resistant ruby probe tip, for long-lasting calibration.
The probe can be swapped out with any other PosiTector probe allowing the device to act as several different measuring instruments including but not limited to a hardness durometer, a thermometer, a surface profiler, and a dew point meter. See related products for a more inclusive list.
