CMI153 - Coating Thickness on Ferrous and Non-ferrous

Dual Technology Features Automatic Selection of Magnetic Induction or Eddy Current Measurement Techniques. Built upon our highly successful CMI150 architecture the CMI153 delivers an improved measurement probe with enhanced performance and superior substrate sensitivity. Useful in a wide variety of settings, the CMI153 measures non-conductive coatings over non-ferrous substrates and non-magnetic coatings over ferrous substrates.

Useful in a wide variety of settings, the CMI153 measures non-conductive coatings over non-ferrous substrates (primarily Al, Cu as close to 100% IACS conductivity is required) and non-magnetic coatings over ferrous substrates. The system was specially designed to handle the needs of platers, coaters, and quality professionals.

APPLICATIONS:

Ideal metrology Solution for Coating Inspectors, Electroplating Plants, Painting Contractors, Automotive & Aerospace Finishers
Measure non-conductive coatings over nonmagnetic conductive substrates

Paint & Powder Coats on Al, brass or Cu, Anodize on Al etc.

Measure nonmagnetic coatings over magnetic (ferrous) substrates:

Paint & Powder Coatings, Zn or Cd on Steel

Accurately quantify coating thickness after deposition
