General Description

The thickness gauge is used to measure the thickness of the plated and coated sheet on metal, e.g. paint/enamel/ chrome on steel, paint and anodizing coating on aluminum/copper. The gauge takes the precision integrated probe, and uses principles of electro-magnetic induction and the eddy current effect, which automatically detects the attribute of substrates.

Features of VC300

[Precision Mearsuring Probe]

vc300 takes the precision integrated probe, and uses principles of electro-magnetic induction and the eddy current effect, which automatically detects the attribute of substrates and will be displayed in the test results,NFe/Fe.
e.g. paint/enamel/ chrome on steel, paint and anodizing coating on aluminum/copper.

[Menu operation]

This product not only has simple button functions, but also has its own software functions and English operation interface. It makes everything clear and simple. Many products do not have this feature

[Data Storage & Graph]

VC300 can store MAX.1500 pens.At the same time, these data can also be viewed in graphical mode, so that the data can be clearly presented in the form of a line graph

[Two Measurement Modes ]

VC300 has a powerful continuous measurement mode and individual measurement mode, and can be switched as needed. The continuous measurement mode allows the probe to move on the surface of the object, and the screen measurement value will change continuously. This feature is very good at detecting changes in the surface of the same object.

[Metric and English Unit]

You can switch between different unit systems, mil and um systems, to meet your needs for different precisions.

[Two Calibration Functions]

It has two calibration functions: basic and zero point.In addition, VC300 also comes with a set of calibration sheet.

[Color-Screen HD display]

VC300 adopts color high-definition screen display, bid farewell to simple black and white screen, and improve the user experience.

Calibration Operation

-Basic Calibration

a.Prepare the calibration plate and calibration base,enter calibration menu and select basic calibration.
b.According to the instrument instruction,place the corresponding calibration plate for calibration.
c.After calibration is completed,"calibration complete"will show up at the bottom of the screen and the instrument will return to the previous interface.
d.After the calibration is complete,you can go back to measurement interface and perform measurement.
e.Magnetic and non-magnetic metal base calibration do not affect each other.

-Zero Calibration

a.Enter calibration menu and select zero calibration.
b.Lightly press the instrument onto substrate.
c.The instrument will automatically calibrate to zero point.
d.The instrument displays the previous interface after calibration is done.
e.After calibration is complete,you can go back to meansurement interface and perform measurements.

How to judge automobile paint?

The thickness of the original car paint is between 100-200um,but the thickness of the touch up paint will be clear.It may be 500-1000um or even thicker.
According to the standard of economical automobile,the paint surface of automobile should not be less than 90um,90um is regarded as cutting corners.
For any cars standard higher than USD50000,the paint surface shall not be lower than 120um(hard index).Below 120um is considered as cutting corners.
