QuaNix CarCheck -Collision Repairs Thickness Measurement System

Functional Characteristics

The CarCheck gauge provides non-destructive coating thickness measurements of non-magnetic coatings such as lacquer, paint, chromium or zinc on steel or iron. It also measures electrically insolated coatings such as lacquer, paint or anodizing aluminum on non-iron material.

The CarCheck system consists of the CarCheck gauge including the probe and the CarCheck documentation software. The CarCheck gauge of the CarCheck system has been designed especially for the measurement of lacquer coating thickness in the automobile industry.

The device uses the magnetic measuring method and the eddy current method. Thus, the simultaneous measurements of non-magnetic coatings such as lacquer, chromium or zinc on steel or iron as well as measurements on electrically insolated coatings such as lacquer or anodizing aluminum on non-iron based metal are possible.

The probe identifies the base material underneath the coating and switches to the corresponding measurement method automatically.

In addition to individual measurements as used normally, you can chose between two fully automated measuring programs. After selecting the vehicle type, the basic measurement requires three measurements per measuring area (for example: fender or hood). The intensive measurement requires six measurements. Each time you take a measurement, the device will automatically switch to the next measuring spot. The complete measuring task will be saved in the gauges memory in the end. Transmitting the data to a computer allows it to be analyzed and completely documented.

Use the provided USB-adapter to establish the wireless communication between gauge and computer.
