DUALSCOPE® FMP100 and H FMP150

DUALSCOPE® FMP100 and H FMP150 Helmut Fischer are flagship products in Helmut Fischer's tactile measurement / handheld measurement device category. This is a specialized line of handheld coating thickness gauges, designed to inspect the thickness of paint layers, protective coatings, KTL coatings, and other industrial coatings on various material surfaces, helping businesses control product quality more accurately, flexibly, and systematically.
In industrial manufacturing, coating thickness inspection not only affects product durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics, but also directly relates to acceptance standards, material costs, and production process stability. If the coating is too thin, the product may degrade quickly or fail to meet protection requirements. If the coating is too thick, businesses may waste paint, increase costs, and deviate from specifications. Therefore, DUALSCOPE® FMP100 and H FMP150 Helmut Fischer are suitable solutions for businesses requiring highly reliable handheld measurement devices, supporting inspection plans and reducing errors in the QC process.

1. Key Features of the Product

A key strength of DUALSCOPE® FMP100 and H FMP150 Helmut Fischer lies in its ability to support systematic inspection through step-by-step inspection plans. This feature helps operators perform measurements according to the correct procedure, minimizing missed measurement points, reducing operational errors, and enhancing the consistency of inspection data.
The product is equipped with a touchscreen and Windows CE operating system, enabling intuitive operation, easy monitoring of measurement results, and convenient data management during inspection. The device has a large measurement value memory, suitable for businesses that need to perform many measurements, handle multiple product batches, or store data for quality traceability.
Another important advantage is its ability to provide reliable results on both curved and rough surfaces. This is a very useful factor in industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering, steel structures, industrial coatings, and component manufacturing, where products do not always have ideal flat surfaces.
In terms of application, the device is suitable for measuring the thickness of paint coatings, protective coatings, and can accurately determine KTL coatings in particular. This helps businesses better control coating processes, surface treatment, and product acceptance before assembly or shipment.
