Surfix Pro

Coating Thickness Measurement 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.

Never has the operation been so easy and straightforward as with the coating thickness gauge Surfix® Pro S. Similar to the menu control on mobile phones, the user receives clear and understandable operating instructions via the display. The free choice of language for operation and documentation makes the instrument handling secure and reliable. A wide range of exchangeable probes provides many options for universal as well as special measurement tasks. It includes one of the world’s smallest measuring sensors which guarantees reliable measurements even on difficult geometries. The scan mode enables a continuous coating thickness measurement for a quick assessment of large surfaces.

The recording and further processing of stored measurement data are just as easy to carry out as the measurement itself. The file names can be alphanumerically assigned via an input panel and managed in a data memory.

The ergonomic design of the instrument features a clear and straightforward operation and an easy-to-read display. The alphanumerical file names make the data management easier and consequently ensure a quick access for further processing. The stored values can be transferred either via an infra-red interface or with a cable to a printer or a PC.
