Coating Thickness Gauge
Sufix S
With separate exchangeable probes.
The Surfix® S-Series is a compact, lightweight, multifunctional fully menu driven coating thickness gauge for fast, precise, non-destructive coating thickness measurement for varnish, paint and electroplated coatings on iron/steel and varnish, paint and anodizing coatings on non-ferrous metals and on austenitic stainless steels.


Probe
All separate exchangeable probes are machined to
ultra-high standards and utilize a unique, hard-metal probe tip which prevents probe wear. The V-notched foot of the standard probes provides a stable footing even on small cylindrical parts. It can be removed to expose a “micro-probe” sensor perfect to measure on small measuring areas and in cavities.
Features
- Innovative and user-friendly measuring techniques
- Online statistics with all common parameters
- Data transfer to printer or PC via infrared interface
- The Surfix® S-Series automatically identifies the substrate and activates the appropriate measuring procedure
- Menu in a choice of different languages ensures easy operation
- The uniform contact pressure of the sensor is minimized, preventing scratches & indentations to sensitive surfaces
- Optional high temperature foot for measuring on surfaces up to 150 °C (302 °F)
- Manufacturer’s Certificate and one year warranty included
Test-Stand
- Designed for smooth, repeatable measurements for coating thickness applications
- Spring-loaded lever for fast, precise travel
- Compact size and light weight makes it the ideal test stand for all workplaces
