MProbe HC - measure coatings on curved and large parts.
Built on the MProbe® 20 Vis platform with data-analysis algorithms tuned for single- and dual-layer coatings, MProbe HC replaces the sample stage with a flexible manual probe - so you can measure thickness anywhere on curved or oversized parts.
Overview
MProbe® HC makes thin-film thickness measurement on curved surfaces and large parts straightforward. It uses a manual probe connected to the measurement unit by a fiber-optic cable, giving you the freedom to measure any location on a part. Typical applications include anti-UV and hardcoat layers on headlights, bumpers and taillight covers, anti-fog coatings on lenses, and coatings on eyeglass lenses.
The standard manual probe measures parts 20 mm or larger; custom probes can reach areas as small as 10 mm. For smaller or round/cylindrical parts, we recommend the MProbe 40 MSP system.
