Original Press Release:
QNix® 8500 - Modular Coating Thickness Measurement Gauge With Wireless Probe
Easy to use, handy, durable, precise are synonyms and quality terms for QNix® coating thickness gauges. The new, thumb-sized wireless radio probe - QNix® SAT extends the scope of coating measurements by being able to measure everywhere, especially where high requirements for human safety is necessitated. It allows for a problem-free one-hand operation and measurement in most extreme conditions.
QNix®8500 is a German-made coating thickness gauge, featuring a modular system with interchangeable probes. Customers will benefit from the bi-directional wireless communication with the PC, the multiple calibration options especially for applications with rough surfaces as is the case with blast cleaning and the configuration language setting. Models are available with and without memory (Basic and Premium versions).
Adding the wireless feature to the QNix® 8500 modular system is a unique solution in the industry. The wireless probes are an invaluable feature for customers that need to climb for quality control (corrosion control on bridges) or for those that may want to integrate this probe to their robotic quality control production line. Manufacturers and suppliers of powder coating equipments, appliance manufacturers, custom spray booths as well as automation for automotive, aviation and marine industry will create immense satisfaction by integrating this miniature (thumb-size device) probe into their systems. Measurements are taken with the probe and transferred to the gauge via wireless technology. There is no need for cables and connectors. The wireless probe is designed to make coating thickness inspection extremely easy.
Where the thumb fits, you can measure. Especially with the restoration and inspection of buildings, bridges, ship body, structural steelworks and airplanes, the need to measure at safety points is increasing. Accordingly, there are high requirements for gauges that measure at such safety points: Gauges must be simple and safe, be durable, reliable and consistent in their long-term use. In extreme conditions, the probes have to be small and be able to guarantee safe accurate measurements. For documentation purpose, one must be able to transfer measured data through the statistics function to the PC for evaluation. In all of the above, the modular concept in the QNix® 8500 creates value for the end user.
With the QNix® 8500, product advantages are in reality user advantages:
- No calibration, however for customized measurements adjustable.
- Broad spectrum of use and application by modular plug system for exchangeable digital probes (Fe, NFe, dual probes) to max. 200 mil measuring range.
- Miniaturize radio probe extends application for free hand measurements.
- Easy menu operation (guidance).
- Display with high resolution.
- All languages are presentable.
- Background light. Flip display around 180°.
- Adjustable to the respective national language.
- lighted keypad
- Simple and safe data communication.
