Numerous specialized digital probes can be connected to the Thickness Gauge. This makes applications on particularly small openings, thick coatings and hard-to-reach or small measuring points possible without any problems. Special functions such as scan measurement for rough surfaces and duplex measurement for galvanized and additionally coated steel extend the performance spectrum.

The newly developed digital probe technology enables extremely stable measurement values thanks to a high sampling rate. The measurement signals are digitized directly in the probe for interference-free and precise recording, which leads to particularly accurate and reproducible results. The magnetic induction method for the Thickness Gauge allows measurements of paint, varnish, plastic, rubber, ceramics, galvanization and galvanic coatings on steel. The eddy current method can be used to measure insulating coatings such as paint, varnish, plastic or anodized coatings on non-ferrous metals.

The device has a graphic LCD touch panel with innovative user guidance and a resolution of 320 × 480 pixels. The menu navigation is in German and English, other language packages are optionally available. A protective silicone frame reliably protects the housing from external influences.

The flexibly structured measured value memory and freely definable calibration configurations offer a wide range of options for customised data acquisition. Measured values can be transferred directly to devices with Windows, Android or iOS via a wireless interface. An SCPI interface is also integrated, which can be used to operate the Thickness Gauge remotely in line operation. The connection is made via USB, which also enables power supply and continuous operation.

The integrated scan function allows rough surfaces to be scanned with subsequent statistical evaluation. An analogue bar graph display supplements the numerical measured values and enables trends or deviations to be identified quickly. The duplex function simultaneously measures the individual layer thicknesses of insulating coatings on galvanized steel (only in conjunction with the DX52-D or DX52-DP probes).

Power is supplied either via three AA batteries or via an external USB source, which means that operation with a mains adapter or power bank is also possible.
