Description

Olympus Magnamike 8600

is a portable thickness gauge that uses a non-destructive magnetic method to measure non-magnetic materials with high accuracy. This instrument is ideal for measuring wall thickness in materials such as plastic, glass, composites, aluminum, and titanium.

How it works

This instrument utilizes Hall effect technology to measure the distance between the tip of a magnetic probe and a small steel target placed on the opposite side of the material being tested.

As the probe is moved on one side of the material, the target (a ball, disc, or wire) is placed on the opposite side.

The Hall effect sensor on the probe measures the distance between the probe and the steel target.

The measured distance is instantly displayed on the screen as a digital thickness reading.
