Automation USA Inc. has expanded its modular system probe portfolio by designing the MI Fe 500 µm, a state-of-the-art pen-shaped probe for precision measurements of thin coatings on both normal and parts of small dimensions like screws, small machine parts, rings, braces, nails, beams or studs.

Automation USA Inc. has expanded its modular system probe portfolio by designing the MI Fe 500 µm, a state-of-the-art pen-shaped probe for precision measurements of thin coatings on both normal and parts of small dimensions like screws, small machine parts, rings, braces, nails, beams or studs.

According to the company, the new probe operates with the magnetic inductive principle, precisely measuring non-ferromagnetic coatings (chromium, copper, zinc, etc.), as well as lacquer, enamel or plastic coatings on steel substrates and within the lowest measuring range. For highest precision, the pen shape probe is available with a coating thickness gauge stand. Using the pen-shaped probe with the coating thickness gauge stand reportedly improves the repeatability and reproducibility of readings. The probe can be used with the modular system QNix 8500 for applications in the corrosion protection and tool making industries.
