Coating Thickness Gauge

Q: Why Do We Need a Coating Thickness Gauge?
A:
- Ensure Product Quality: Accurate thickness measurements help maintain the quality and durability of coatings.
- Prevent Coating Defects: Early detection of coating defects prevents costly rework.
- Save Costs: Avoid over-coating or under-coating, which can lead to material waste or performance issues.
- Enhance Safety: Ensures coatings meet safety standards, especially in automotive applications.
- Meet Industry Standards and Regulatory Requirements: Helps comply with industry-specific standards and regulations.
- Improve Maintenance Efficiency: Allows for precise monitoring of coating wear, enabling timely maintenance.
- Enhance Product Confidence: Reliable measurements boost customer trust in product quality.
All products in this series from Vdiagtool meet the above conditions.
The coating thickness gauge series includes the following products:
Vdiagtool VC100
The VC100 quickly, accurately, and non-destructively measures the thickness of non-metallic coatings (such as paint, film, etc.) on metal substrates. It is primarily used to measure the thickness of coatings, like paint, on vehicle surfaces.
Key Features:
- HD Backlight Mode: Provides clear readings even in low-light conditions.
- Unit Conversion: Switch between metric (mm) and imperial (mil) units.
- 90° Vertical Test: Ensure accurate measurements by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface.
- High Sensitivity Probe: Offers fast, precise measurements.

Vdiagtool VC200
The VC200 Thickness Gauge is designed to measure the thickness of various coatings and platings on metals, such as paint, enamel, and chrome on steel, as well as anodized coatings and paint on aluminum and copper. It utilizes a precision integrated probe and employs electromagnetic induction and eddy current effects to detect the substrate's properties automatically, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.
Automotive Paint Thickness Tester VC200 Functions:
- Measures the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on magnetic metal substrates.
- Measures the thickness of non-metallic coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates.
- Automatically identifies non-magnetic and magnetic metal substrates.
- Supports single, continuous, and differential measurement modes.
- Includes maximum, minimum, and average viewing functions for comprehensive data analysis.
- Offers zero calibration, offset calibration, and basic calibration for enhanced accuracy.
- Provides both metric and imperial measurement units.
- Features an LCD backlight display for easy reading in various lighting conditions.
- Equipped with an automatic shutdown function to conserve battery life.
