Where it is used
Typical tasks
- Plastic bottles and PET preforms
- Packaging and complex-shaped containers
- Aerospace composites
- Automotive seams
- Nonferrous castings
Overview
The Magna-Mike 8600 is a magnetic thickness gauge from Olympus (now the Evident brand) for nonferrous materials. A small steel ball, disk or wire is placed on one side of the wall and a Hall effect probe is moved along the other. The gauge measures the distance to the target, which is the wall thickness.
The method suits complex shapes and thin walls: plastic bottles and preforms, packaging, composites and nonferrous castings.

Targets and ranges
| Target | Range |
|---|---|
| 1/16" ball | 0.001–2.03 mm |
| 1/8" ball | 0.001–6.1 mm |

| 1/4" magnetic ball | 4.06–25.4 mm |
| Disk | 0.001–9.1 mm |
| Wire | 0.001–12.7 mm |
Accuracy is 1–4 % depending on target.
