Coating thickness gauge ComBi D3®
Combined coating thickness measurement on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates
The gauge allows the user to make all the necessary adjustment with the aid of a menu - changes can therefore be implemented quickly and simply with a minimum amount of fuss. These features as well as others, make the practical hand-held pocket-sized gauge an indispensable aid in the quest for quality control and other applications, where ease of use and high-speed measurements with impeccable accuracy are desired.
ComBi D3® measures all non-magnetic coatings such as synthetics, lacquers, enamels, copper, chromium, zinc, etc. on steel or iron and all isolating coatings such as lacquers, synthetics, enamels, paper, glass, rubber, etc. on copper, aluminium or brass. This includes eloxal coatings on aluminium as well.
Characteristics
- Easy to use
- Large measuring range: 0 to 3.5 mm
- Measurement type - single-point or continuous
- Vibrations do not influence the measurement
- Wear resistant, spring-loaded ruby probe
- Measurement result can be displayed in µm/mm or mils
- Gauge can be switched on/off manually or automatically
- Visual alarm if the coating thickness exceeds the maximum range
- Integrated probe - for single-handed use
- Easy set-up - just follow the menu
- Requires no timely re-calibration for different materials
- The V-groove assists in the placement of the probe on spherical surfaces (eg. rods, pipes, etc.)

Mini-Infrared-Printer SP 100

The infrared pocket printer SP 100 completes the functions of ComBi D3®. An adapter enables wireless data transfer to print out measured and statistic values.
Other features are:
- Thermal printing process
- Magnetic surface to stick on metal
- Universally applicable with other gauges
- High printing speed (one print line = 24 signs per second)
- Transfer distance from gauge to printer: up to 4.5 m
- Very robust and handy
- Size (length x width x height): only 15.5 x 9.2 x 6.5 cm or 6.1” x 3.6” x 2.5”
- Independent of mains supply (four AA Alkali-batteries)
The SP 100 sticks on metal surfaces. Two strong magnets are embedded underneath the rubber coating.
