QNix® 4500 Car Paint Inspection Device with Integrated Dual Probe Fe 5 mm/NFe 3 mm

Introduction

Al Muhandes Workshop Equipment is proud to be the exclusive agent in the Middle East for QNIX, a leading German company in precision hardware manufacturing. We present the QNix® 4500 with Integrated Dual Probe Fe 5 mm/NFe 3 mm, designed for a variety of applications, especially in the automotive and painting industries.

Handling Instructions

Despite its rugged design, the QNix® 4500 should be handled correctly to ensure accurate measurements at all times. Avoid dropping it and protect it from dirt, dust, humidity, chemicals, and aggressive vapors. Store the gauge in its protective case after use. Avoid large temperature variations, direct sunlight, and strong electromagnetic fields, such as transformers or high-voltage lines. Do not measure on magnetized parts. Clean the housing with a soft damp cloth and check the probe tip regularly for dirt and paint residues.
