Elcometer A456CFNFTS Coating Thickness Gauge: The Ultimate Premium Versatile Integral Probe

In high-tech industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, shipbuilding, and precision mechanical machining, technicians frequently need to inspect paint or plating thickness across various metal surfaces (sometimes steel, other times aluminum or copper). The Elcometer A456CFNFTS coating thickness gauge is the ultimate solution – a versatile integral probe device from the highest premium “Top” range, capable of automatically recognizing all metal substrate types.

Outstanding Features of Elcometer A456CFNFTS

The Model A456CFNFTS perfectly combines a mobile handheld design with the peak technological power of the renowned Elcometer 456 Series:

Intelligent Automatic Substrate Recognition (FNF): You don’t need to change probes or manually switch modes. When placed on a Ferrous/Steel substrate, the gauge applies the magnetic induction principle (F). When placed on Aluminum/Copper/Stainless Steel, it automatically switches to the eddy current principle (N) to accurately measure surface paint, anodizing, plastics, or chrome.

Sleek Integral Probe Design: The probe is permanently integrated into the base of the gauge body. This design allows you to easily perform measurements with just one hand, making it extremely convenient when climbing high scaffolding or working in confined spaces.

State-of-the-Art “Top” Range Gauge (The letter ‘T’): As the most premium version, the gauge possesses a massive memory capable of storing up to 150,000 readings across 2,500 batches. It supports high/low limit configurations, advanced statistical calculations, and intuitive graphic chart displays.

Astonishing Surface Scanning Speed: Achieves a speed of over 70 readings per minute, accelerating large-scale project acceptance workflows many times faster than conventional devices.

Data Digitization via Bluetooth®: Wirelessly synchronizes measurement results directly to your phone (iOS/Android) or computer via the free ElcoMaster® application for automatic professional PDF inspection report generation.
