Made in Germany
MiniTest FH
Click images to enlarge.
Professional, high-end wall thickness measuring system for non-destructive measurement up to 24mm. The MiniTest FH offers straightforward thickness measurement of non-magnetic materials such as glass, synthetic material, stainless steel and composites. Components with complex geometries can also be measured with ease.
An intelligent SIDSP sensor enables the MiniTest FH to provide high-precision measurement and reproducibility while compensating for the influence of temperatures in the measuring environment and in the object being measured. A wide range of sensors allows to adapt to different applications and measuring tasks.
Thickness is determined by measuring the distance of a reference ball or wire to the sensor tip. The reference ball is attracted by a powerful magnet positioned directly behind the sensor tip. The steel target balls are treated according to a specialized ElektroPhysik procedure which allows reproducibility of test results of up to 0.5%.
Special features such as an automatic calibration function for zero calibration and direct transfer of readings into a spreadsheet or CAQ system complement the high user comfort provided by the intuitive menu operation.

Application

Non-destructive wall thickness measurement of:
  • Non-magnetic materials like synthetic materials, glass, ceramic, non-ferrous metals…
  • All kinds of hollow items like bottles, aluminium cans, glass and plastic containers with complex geometries…
  • Thermo-moulded parts like cups, cans, bowls…
  • Die-cast and moulded plastic parts, fibre compound materials, non-ferrous metals etc., for e.g. in the automotive field (gear casing, body and interior components), in avionics (turbine components, combustion chambers, high-pressure pipes), in the medical field…

Features

  • High precision wall thickness measurement up to 24 mm

  • 2 million readings storable in more than 200 batches
  • Up to 20 readings per second
  • Wear-resistant sensors with hardened sensor tips
  • Direct data import into evaluation software
  • Bluetooth, USB and RS 232 C interfaces
  • IP 65 Water and Dust Resistance
