These robust handheld devices combine eddy current and magnetic induction technology to automatically recognize the base material and instantly switch to the correct mode for measurement over ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.

Easy-to-use, the menu driven CMI153 is a single button factory pre-calibrated unit that delivers excellent accuracy and precision.

The innovative CMI250 offers factory pre-calibration and user created calibration capability, temperature compensation, data storage options, date and time stamp, statistical analysis, USB to PC connectivity, and the added advantage of a rotating flip display screen enabling coating measurements to be read at any angle!

These versatile instruments are ideal thickness measurement solutions for:

• •

  industrial coatings;

• •

  appliance finishing;

• •

  paint and powder coating;

• •

  automotive and aerospace finishing;

• •

  coating inspectors; and

• •

  electroplating or galvanizing.
