Surface Profile Gage Speeds Readings

Thursday, October 20, 2011

More items for Quality Control

The PosiTector SPG Surface Profile Gage, new from DeFelsko, has a fast measurement rate of more than  50 readings per minute,  for quickly and accurately measuring surface profile over large surface areas.

The gage measures and records peak-to-valley surface profile height in accordance with ASTM D4417-B and other standards.

Standard, Advanced Features

All models include a tungsten carbide probe tip designed for long life and continuous accuracy. Field-replaceable probe tips are available with either 60- or 30-degree tip angles to conform to a variety of international standards. Download and transfer options include USB, Bluetooth and PosiTector.net cloud-based memory storage. No software is required.

DeFelsko

Advanced models include high-contrast color LCD, increased memory and SmartBatch, which allows the entry of user-defined parameters and criteria to comply with various standards and test methods. Other features include on-screen help, real-time graphing, picture prompting and batch notes.

Interchangeable Probes

The new PosiTector body universally accepts all PosiTector SPG, 6000 and DPM probes, allowing users to  easily convert it from a surface profile gage to a coating thickness gage or dew point meter.

This looks like a good piece of equipment, with a large screen that is easy to read at my age(!)and the Bluetooth data-transfer is an excellent idea.

I haven't used this gauge but I would certainly like to see how it compares to my elcometers. Not a huge fan of their Dft gauges but I believe that defelsko's line of adhesion testers provide more bang for the buck than anybody else in the industry.
