DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 Coating Thickness Gauge: FN Probe 0–1500 µm
Overview
The PosiTector 6000 is a coating thickness gauge from DeFelsko of the USA, consisting of a gauge body and interchangeable probes. The FN probe combines magnetic induction and eddy current principles to measure non-conductive coatings on ferrous metals such as steel and on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper and stainless steel; the probe has a wear-resistant ruby tip. Two gauge bodies are available: Standard transfers data via USB, while Advanced adds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and larger memory. Data management and reporting use PosiSoft Desktop (Windows/Mac) on a PC and the PosiTector App (iOS/Android) on mobile devices. Integral FN probes (FN1/FN3), cabled FNS probes (FNS1/FNS3) and other probes are available on request.
