3000FX Series Coating Thickness Gauge

3 Models
DCF-3000FX - Ferrous Only Model
DCN-3000FX - Non-Ferrous Only Model
DCFN-3000FX - Combination Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Model

The new Check-Line 3000FX Series coating thickness gauge is a multifunctional fully menu driven gauge for fast, professional and precise coating thickness measurement for

·  varnish, paint and electroplated coatings on iron/steel and

·  varnish, paint and anodising coatings on non-ferrous metals and on austenitic stainless steels

All external probes are machined to ultra-high standards and utilize a unique, hard-metal probe tip which prevents probe wear.

A v-notched footer provides a stable footing on small cylindrical parts, which can be removed to expose a "micro-probe" sensor perfect to measure on small surfaces and parts.

Where to use 3000FX Series?

Wherever coatings are applied – whether on visual and aesthetic grounds, to prevent corrosion protection, or for functional and mechanical reasons – the coating thickness represents an essential quality feature. The 3000FX Series is ideal for speedy, non-destructive and exceptionally precise coating thickness measurement.
