The IS9650 Hoverprobe is used with the SI9600 Coating Thickness Gauge to test the coating, lacquer and varnish thickness of flat sheets.

With a simple press of a button, it suspends lightly on a cushion of air to easily hover the probe around the coated blanks.

When the button is released, the Hoverprobe’s weight settles on the sheet, allowing the probe tip to measure the coating thickness rapidly and accurately.

REMEMBER: Gauge R&R or gauge repeatability and reproducibility is important in measuring coating thickness because it shows which part of the measurement system is contributing the most to the variation of the measurements, therefore giving the operators ideas on how to ensure quality and cost control.
