Coating Thickness Meter MEGA-CHECK DX
You can connect many specialized digital probes to the List-Magnetik MEGA-CHECK DX coating thickness meter. Applications on particularly small openings, on thick coatings and on small measuring points are thus easily possible. Special functions such as scan measurement for rough surfaces and duplex measurement for galvanized and additionally coated steel round off the performance spectrum.
A completely newly developed digital probe technology allows very stable measurements due to its high sampling rate. For absolutely interference-free and precise measurement, the signals are already digitized in the probe. This results in very accurate, reproducible measurements.
At List-Magnetik you will find a wide range of probes for FE metals (iron and steel) and NFE metals (non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, bronze and non-magnetic stainless steel) as well as combined probes with automatic detection of the base material.
The magnetic induction method allows measurements of paint, varnish, plastic, rubber, ceramics, zinc plating and galvanic coatings on steel. The eddy current method allows you to measure insulating coatings (paint, lacquer, plastic, anodizing) on non-ferrous metals.
The coating thickness gauge has a graphical LCD touch panel with an innovative operator guidance and a resolution of 320x480 pixels. The menu guidance is in German and English, further language packages can be installed. The blue silicone frame effectively protects the housing from damage.
With the flexibly divisible measured value memory, the freely definable calibration memories and the Bluetooth Low Energy interface to Windows, Android or iOS, you have all the possibilities to record and further process your measured values.
The scan function allows you to scan a workpiece over a rough surface and statistically evaluate the data. With the additional analog display, the visualization of the measured values is supplemented to recognize trends and peak values even from the corner of your eye.
The duplex function simultaneously records the single layer thickness when measuring insulating layers on galvanized steel parts.
Scan Measurement | Duplex Measurement |
| Do you want to continuously scan a coating and determine the minimum and maximum? Scan measurement provides you with a graphical coating thickness curve with statistical evaluation. | Do you want to evaluate galvanized and painted steel in one step and see both the zinc and paint coatings together? The duplex measurement is a quick way to view both simultaneously and statistically evaluate them separately. |

Power can be supplied by 3 AA batteries or an external source connected via USB. Thus, you can operate the device with a power bank or on the AC adapter.
The probe cable, which can be plugged in at both ends, connects the display unit and digital probe and can be replaced effortlessly if the cable breaks.
All List-Magnetik MEGA-CHECK coating thickness gauges are high-quality products "Made in Germany".
A coating thickness gauge is mostly used in the quality assurance of coating processes, for example to determine the thickness of a paint coating, in the testing of vehicles or steel structures, in fire protection (determining the coating thickness of steel doors). However, it is not only a coating thickness gauge, but also rubber coatings, anodizing and galvanic coatings can be measured.
To further process your measurement data, you can pair your measuring device with mobile Android and iOS devices. Or you communicate with a Windows PC. This is made possible by Bluetooth Low Energy technology (BLE). With the Lima Connect app you can manage projects and assign the measuring points on a photo. The measurement results can be statistically evaluated and displayed graphically. The app for Android, iOS and Windows is free.
