Hitachi High-Tech - Model Coating Thickness Handheld Gauges -Industrial & Automotive Paint & Powder Coating
Our thickness gauges provide reliable, simple and accurate measurements. Choose from a range of digital coating thickness gauges that provide increasing functionality from the entry level models, to top of the range.Paint and powder coatings are more than just a decorative finish; they provide critical surface protection against wear and corrosion. Whether you are a manufacturer, body shop or a hobbyist our paint thickness gauges accurately and easily ensure consistent coating thickness and help to identify imperfections which could impact reliability and longevity.
For added flexibility, our digital paint gauges can measure anodizing thickness on aluminum and protective coatings such as polymers, epoxy, resin and rubber even on dry thin film or thinly coated substrates.
Common measurement applications for these industrial paint & powder coating gauges include:
- Components for automotive/aerospace
- Appliances
- General industrial parts
- Architectural pieces
RAPID AND RELIABLE INSPECTION OF PAINT, LACQUER, AND PROTECTIVE COATINGS ON METAL SUBSTRATES
The CMl155 and CMl157 are capable of measuring the thickness of a single layer or the total thickness of applied coatings on steel, aluminium and other metals. The base of the probe is designed for measurement of smooth surfaces with an extended measurement range. These gauges are ideal metrology tools for:
| Paint & powder coaters.
| Coating inspectors.
| Automotive and aerospace finishers.
| Electroplating plants.
KEY FEATURES
| One touch, easy operation.
| Factory calibrated.
| Automatic detection of substrate.
| Integrated probe.
| Casing IP52 rated, protects against dust and water.
CMI 255 & CMI 257
Two probe configurations designed to fit your measurement needs The CMI255 and CMI257 coating thickness gauges offer dual technology along with high reliability testing of protective and decorative coatings applied to steel, iron, aluminium and other metals. With on-board statistics to review a series of measurements and the ability to account for variations in substrate materials, our CMI255 and CMI257 are superior quality assurance and inspection tools for:
| Paint & powder coaters.
| Electroplaters.
| Galvanizers.
| Coating inspectors.
| Automotive and aerospace finishers.
These compact, handheld gauges are factory calibrated and automatically select the best measurement technique for the base material. The gauges are durably designed, include a rubberized cover and meet IP52 environmental protection standards to withstand use in harsh conditions. The CMI255 features an integrated probe for single-handed operation. The CMI257 features a tethered probe for taking measurements on locations that are more difficult to reach.
KEY FEATURES
| On-board statistics.
| Base re-zero function.
| Factory calibrated.
| Automatic substrate detection.
| Integrated or external probe configuration.
| IP52 protection against dust and water.
HIGH PERFORMANCE, RUGGED DESIGN THAT IS AFFORDABLE
The CMI233® gauge provides a reliable means for performing accurate, efficient inspection of coating/plating thickness at an affordable price. Measurements can be taken in automatic or continuous modes. Our CMI233® has a unique scanning option which compensates for uneven or textured substrate materials, enhancing performance of gauge repeatability and reproducibility. A large memory capacity for over 12,000 readings can accommodate even high usage applications. Accommodates 1 eddy current and 2 magnetic probes.
KEY FEATURES:
| Battery operated.
| Withstands harsh environments.
| Large memory capacity.
