Metal thickness gauge QuintSonic 7

glasscoatingplastic

Product overview
QuintSonic 7 is an ultrasonic coating thickness gauge that established new standards for non‑destructive measurement of polymer and metal coatings. As the first gauge integrating a digital ultrasonic sensor, it evaluates up to five individual coatings on metallic and non‑metallic substrates and offers reproducible results, simple calibration and a graphic A‑screen. The model has been succeeded by QuintSonic T.

Applications

• Non‑destructive measurement of varnish, plastics, glass, enamel and other coatings on wood, plastics, glass, metal and ceramics
• Measurement of metal coatings on plastics, ceramics and wood
• Measurement of up to 5 layers in a single operation
• Also suitable for wall/thickness measurement of substrates

Measuring principle

• Ultrasonic reflection (DIN EN ISO 2808, method 10) — pulse run‑time

Key features

• Sensor‑integrated digital 32‑bit signal processing (SIDSP®) for fast, consistent evaluation
• Over 40 measurements per minute (approx. 1 s cycle time)
• Small 5 mm measuring area for small or curved parts
• Graphic display with individual coating presentation, zoomable A‑screen and menu guidance
• High accuracy and repeatability
