A new generation of proven instruments with extensive choice of exchangeable probes for non-destructive, high-precision coating thickness measurement. When it comes to quality control in a manufacturing process or incoming inspection of random samples or complete batches, these user-friendly and flexible instruments will meet your requirements. Using the modular FMP design, an instrument can be configured with a specific probe for your requirements.

Special Features

• Non-destructive coating thickness measurement using magnetic induction method or eddy current method.
• Automatic probe and base material recognition.
• Coating thickness measurement ranges from 0-3 mm depending on probe.
• Large, high-contrast graphic display in a new sturdy housing.
• Simple operation and extensive evaluation capabilities with versatile measurement options.
• USB communication with a PC and printer for Models FMP30 and FMP40.
• Innovative probe technology with a large probe selection for high accuracy, an expanded measurement range and complex shapes.

Models

• DELTASCOPE® FMP10 or FMP30
  For measurement of non-ferromagnetic metal coatings, e.g., chrome, copper, zinc, as well as paint, lacquer, enamel or plastic coatings on steel and iron
• ISOSCOPE® FMP10 & FMP30
  For measurement of paint, lacquer or plastic coatings as well as anodic coatings applied to non-ferromagnetic metal substrates.
• DUALSCOPE® FMP20 & FMP40
  Due to automatic substrate material recognition and the integration of both measurement methods, these universal instruments are capable of measuring numerous coatings both on steel and iron and on non-ferromagnetic metals. Through the use of both measurement methods, duplex coatings (lacquer/zinc) on steel can be measured in one measuring procedure and the lacquer and zinc coatings can be displayed separately.

Measurement Application Memory

• Storage capability for a measurement application including calibration.

Statistics & Evaluation

• Statistical display of significant values such as mean value, standard deviation, min, max, range.

Measurement Sstrategies

• Single reading acquisition.
• Measurements with the "free-running display" mode for continuous scanning of surfaces.

• Automatic base material recognition (FMP40).
• External key-triggered measurement acquisition, e.g., in hollow cylinders with small diameters.
• Option to calibrate through an unknown coating (with magnetic induction method only).
• USB port to a PC and a printer.
• Battery or line power (optional) operation.

Measurement Application Memory

• Application memory for up to 100 measuring applications including calibration.
• Memory for up to 20,000 readings.
• Allocation of readings into up to 4,000 blocks.
• Date and time stamp for blocks.
• Correction of any stored reading.
• Application linking mode: Common normalization / calibration of measuring applications.
• Text designations for measuring applications through the optional PC program MP-Name.

Statistics & Evaluation

• Statistics display of the most significant values in the block and final results. Output of variance-analytical values.
• Graphical measurement display as a histogram with a Gaussian plot.
• Capability of entering process tolerance limits and computation of the associated process capability indices cp and cpk.
• Audible and visual warning when tolerance limits are exceeded

Measurement Strategies

• Free-running display with additional presentation of reading as an analog bar between tolerance limits.
• Capability to enable matrix measurement mode for correlated multi-point measurements.
• Averaging of measurement data. Mean value of multiple readings will be stored.
• Measurement acquisition through area measurement. Single readings are taken until probe is lifted
  and values are averaged.
• Automatic measurement without lifting probe.
• Outlier rejection settings for automatic elimination of erroneous measurements
