Description
The Magna-Mike Model 8600 is a manual thickness gauge that uses a magnetic method for quick, accurate, and repeatable measurements on non-ferromagnetic materials. A magnetic probe is placed on one side of the material while a small steel ball is positioned on the opposite side. The Hall-effect probe measures the distance between the probe tip and the ball, and the thickness is displayed digitally.
Ideal for complex shapes and small spaces, the Magna-Mike 8600 is widely used in plastic packaging, glass, composites, and non-ferrous metals.
