Applications
Plastic Bottles
In applications such as plastic
containers, the operator simply drops the small target ball inside the
container. The magnetic probe held on the outsider of the container attracts the
target ball.
When the operator scans the probe along the surface or critical
corners, the small steel target ball will follow. In the Minimum Mode feature,
the gage continually displays both the actual thickness and the lowest thickness
reading.
Other Applications
The
Magna-Mike 8500 is the ideal instrument for measuring difficult shapes and
sizes. Nondestructive measurement capabilities allow for pinpoint thickness
readings in tight corners and grooves down to a radius of 1/32". The Magna-Mike
has been successfully integrated into quality control programs for glass and
aluminum containers, aerospace composite parts, medical packaging, automotive
panels, airbag tear seams, and other parts made from nonferrous materials.
Features
- Minimum Mode continually displays lowest thickness readings
- Handheld and
lightweight (2.1 lb.)
- Few keys for simple operation
- Backlight LCD
with large numerals
- Fast thickness measurements up to 16 per second
- Finds minimum thickness in tight corners
- Easily measures center of large
parts
- Accuracy not dependent upon shape or properties of test material
- Internal file-based datalogger stores up to 95,000 thickness readings
