More Information

QNix® 9500 Probes

The QNix® 9500 probes have been completely redesigned,t he new standard probe is small and highly robust. There are Fe-, NFe- and dual probes available. The integrated led limit value indicator recognizes every variation without having to look at the hand-held unit. The coating thickness gauge QNix® 9500 is available with an integrated probe, as well as a modular version for interchangeable probe:

  • Stainless steel probe with a protective membrane, IP65 dust and water protection
  • Resistant probe head with polished ruby
  • Chemically resistant material, to clean with solvents (acetone, nitro dilution, ethanol)
  • LED-limit indicator on the probe tip
  • Probe adaptor cable made of drag chain compatible PUR

There is a digital copy of the last calibration certificate saved in each probe, which can be integrated into a report via PC software. All interchangeable standard probes of the QNix® 9500 are also compatible with the new QNix® 5500, thus ensuring a cross-model flexibility.

 

QNix® 9500 PC Software

Software can only be powerful if users can intuitively integrate it into their workflow.

Intuitive Operation - When developing the QNix® 9500 PC software, the focus was on the design of the graphical user interface - easy to understand and quick to apply. Many consultations were held in advance with users from a wide range of industries in order to find out what requirements have to be met by the PC software. The result is a software that is intuitive to use, where you can find your way quickly, that saves time and optimizes the procedure.

Configure from your pc - The QNix® 9500 software is completely browser-based and requires no software installation, so it is independent of the current version of Windows. The operating logic of the entirely redeveloped PC software of the QNix® 9500 has also been applied in the user interface of the Qnix® 9500 gauge. All configurations that are made on the gauge can also be set up using the PC software.

Three clicks to the report - Thanks to the integrated powerful statistical functions you can evaluate your measurements with just three clicks and document them. By preconfigurated and freely positionable text, table and graphic modules you can create professional report templates using drag-and-drop. Logos and photos of the object being measured and the last certificate of calibration can be integrated into the report without any effort.

A report documents the results of the survey and increases its credibility.

 

Applications

Industrial Coating - job coater - wet or powder coating. Single, series or random sampling. More Efficiency - The quality requirements for coatings in terms of appearance, lifetime and reliability are constantly increasing with increasing pressure on saving costs. Efficiency is therefore essential for the coating process, quality assurance and order-related documentation. The QNix® 9500 gives optimum support by setups that can be saved as templates. Configure limits and adjustments in advance on the PC or device. Create folder structures for your readings per production lot or component or activate different templates at any time. The pre-configurable reports of the QNix® 9500 bring transparency and can be individually customized to the client’s needs. Or you use one of the standard templates to generate a report by three clicks. This can be supplemented, for example, with the certificate of the last calibration stored in the probe.

Surface Finishing - electroplating - anodizing. Quality control with the QNix® 9500. High Precision - Functional coatings achieve defined surface properties for corrosion and wear protection, e.g. in the automotive sector or mechanical engineering. Here, quality assurance is of particular importance, because the layers are very thin and the tolerance range is comparatively small. The QNix® 9500 has simple adjusting features that ensure accurate measurement results on different substrate properties or component geometries. Save your adjustments for different applications for quick changes to previous adjustments. Various measurement triggering options (press key on device when measuring on a tripod or delayed measurements) support you just as much with measurements on complex geometries, as well as small diameter and the low overall height of the standard QNix® P3 probe.

Vehicle Inspection by automobile experts and trades Quick and easy - Today, professional vehicle evaluations are only possible by the aid of coating thickness gauges, e.g. for professional accident reports or value reports, for leasing returns, for the purchase of used cars and for the inspection and documentation of body and paint work. With the QN9 software you can quickly and easily create templates for different body shapes that you save on the gauge. Generate new jobs (inspection plan for a vehicle) from your stored template with just three clicks on the gauge. Create report templates for the test report, add photos or comments to the report, or generate your standard report with just three clicks once connected to the PC. Automatic alignment of the display, brightness adaptation, large foot and low centre of gravity, the device facilitates fast and precise work.

Heavy Corrosion Protection. Ergonomics for continuous use in rough environments. Extremely Robust - For the execution and monitoring of coating process in heavy corrosion protection, system procedures and complete documentation is often required. In almost no application are there so many requirements, standards and guidelines. The requirements for man, machine and device are extremely high. When developing the QNix® 9500, huge importance was attached to robustness and ergonomics. The fibreglass reinforced three-layer plastic casing, which ensures shock absorption from external impact, display and electronics as well as the drag chain cable suited to the industrial standards, meet these requirements, even in case of the cable having to be replaced. Extensive preconfigured parameters support you setting limits and adjusting standards (e.g. ISO 19840, SSPC PA2, IMO SSPC). Readings above or below the limits are indicated acoustically by a beep, visually by a distinct colour change in the display, as well as by a RGB LED in the probe tip. Thus, you can fully concentrate on the areas to be measured. The high measuring speed of up to two measurements per second ensures fast processing in case of large components. The simple and intuitive menu almost eliminates the need for training.
