Rugged Features:
The PosiTector 6000 was designed for use in harsh industrial environments. Now with an impact-resistant Lexan® display and shock-absorbing rubber holster the PosiTector 6000 is more rugged and durable than ever before.
Coating Thickness Gauge Selection:
Easy steps to select a gage:
- Select substrate
- F - for ferrous metals (steel and cast iron)
- N - for non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.)
- FN - for all metal substrates - Gage automatically recognizes the substrate and takes a measurement
- Select from a variety of measurement ranges and probe styles (Built-in or Separate Probes)
