Precision Thickness Gauge - Magna Mike: Advanced Measurement Tech by Presto

09-Dec-2024

Measuring the thickness of materials can be very challenging when precision and quality are considered. Among such industries as manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and construction, where precision matters for integrity and safety reasons, a product that meets this high requirement must be reliable and efficient. Magna Mike is an instrument specifically designed with such expectations, aiming at delivering extremely accurate non-destructive measurements of materials in different forms.

What is Precision Thickness Gauge?

It is an instrument that measures the thickness of materials with great accuracy. Unlike other methods that may destroy the material by cutting or damaging it, a precision thickness gauge will offer a non-destructive method that does not ruin the product. Gauges are an essential tool to measure thickness in manufacturing, quality control, and maintenance. They check the condition of materials, ensure compliance, and avoid defects.

Why Presto?

Presto is a respected and trusted leader in the delivery of advanced testing solutions, offering high-quality, reliable, and precision measuring instruments built with durability and compliance for optimal performance within industrious operations and strict quality benchmarks.

How does Magna Mike Work?

The working principle involved in the Magna Mike Precision Thickness Gauge is its magnetic target mechanism. Below is the step-by-step process:

The Probe and Magnetic Target

A probe is placed on top of the material to measure. The probe creates a magnetic field that interacts with the surface of the material, and a magnetic target may be attached to the side of the material if required.

Step-by-Step Measurement Procedure

1. Probe Placement: The probe is placed on the surface of the material by the operator.

2. Generation of Magnetic Field: The probe generates the magnetic field, which influences the surface of the material.

3. Distance Measurement: By measuring the distance between the probe and the target, the gauge calculates the thickness of the material based on the magnetic influence.

4. Display of Results: The thickness is displayed instantly on the thickness gauge meter screen with high accuracy.
