Trotec BB30 Coating/Paint Thickness Gauge
With the BB30, you can quickly and accurately measure the thickness of non-magnetic layers—such as paints, varnishes, plastic coatings, galvanized, enameled, or chrome-plated surfaces—on ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metal substrates. The sensitive dual sensor is just as accurate for iron and steel as it is for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium, or titanium.
The spring-loaded measuring tip features a practical V-groove. On the one hand, this makes it easier to take measurements on round objects, such as shafts or hinges; on the other hand, it is not affected by vibration.
Whether you’re using the device comfortably with just one hand or at hard-to-reach measurement points, thanks to the flexible probe extension included in the delivery package, the BB30 always provides you with accurate measurement results in the range of 0 to 2000 µm. Stored measurement values and groups can be retrieved directly on the device as needed. In addition, data transfer is simple and wireless via Bluetooth.
Whether it’s in the automotive industry, for measuring paint film thickness on ships or railings, or for checking enamel coatings—the BB30 is the ideal handheld measuring device for professionals in these and other fields.
