QNix 8500
Specifications
QNix® 8500 Basic / QNix® 8500 Premium
A perfect measuring system
With the modular measuring system QNix® 8500 the user has two gauge versions that are different in functionality and memory capacity.
Display of two readings
Combine measurement is taken when, for example a coated Steel substrate has a thin zinc layer and painted. On a combined mode, the QNix® 8500 indicates separate values for the zinc and paint coatings (minimum substrate thickness is defined at 50μm -approximately, 1.97 Mil).
Calibration Options
Besides the factory calibration, the measuring system QNix® 8500 allows for two calibration adjustments which are very helpful when measuring on curvature or small parts:
- with the one point calibration the probe is adjusted towards a known value.
- with a two-point calibration the accuracy of the probe is optimally adjusted (two values) to a defined thickness range to be measured.
Data Management and Documentation via Excell
With the QNix® Software the data can be wirelessly transferred to an Excel sheet. Hence, the stipulated availability of statistical analysis in a quality system is given.
The new freedom of coating thickness measurement - The unique radio control probe.
The QNix® sat is an innovative development that enunciates, in combination with QNix 8500®, a never known before freedom of coating thickness measurement. QNix® sat, is not only the world’s first and smallest precision probe for non-destructive Fe and NFe measuring of coating thickness. It extends the application scope with a wireless and trouble-free transfer of statistical data via radio frequency. The radio control probe is the right answer to the demand of many end users for a gauge that fulfils norms in the paint and corrosion protection industries, especially allowing for measurements at difficult-to-access points. A freedom that creates extra safety.
