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.
