Hershma HE-800 Paint Thickness Gauge 

The Hershma HE-800 Coating Thickness Gauge is a professional high-precision instrument designed for measuring paint and coating thickness on metal surfaces. It is widely used in automotive inspection, car body repair workshops, paint shops, manufacturing quality control, and metal coating inspection.

The device uses advanced measurement technologies including Hall Effect and Eddy Current principles, allowing it to accurately measure coating thickness on both ferrous metals (iron/steel) and non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum).

The HE-800 features automatic substrate identification, which means the instrument automatically detects whether the surface is Fe (iron/steel) or NFe (non-ferrous metal) and switches the measurement mode accordingly. This makes operation fast and simple without the need for manual adjustments.

Its high-contrast backlit LCD display provides clear readings and important information such as measurement values, substrate type, high/low limits, and battery status.

The compact ergonomic design allows easy one-hand operation, making it ideal for field inspection and workshop use.
