Description

Operating on the ultrasonic pulse reflection principle, this instrument delivers reliable results on a wide range of materials. It is ideal for measuring layer thickness on non-metallic substrates such as plastic, wood and glass, as well as the thickness of metallic materials and their coatings.

With its multilayer measurement capability for up to 3 layers, the PCE-CT 1000 is perfectly suited for complex material structures and demanding inspection tasks. The bright 5-inch IPS colour display ensures clear visibility of readings, parameters and waveforms, while the integrated waveform display helps users monitor signal quality for improved measurement confidence and higher precision.

For greater flexibility in industrial environments, the device features 21 preset materials and an adjustable sound velocity, making it easy to optimise settings for different applications. Its internal memory for 999 readings, together with the included PC software and data export function, supports efficient documentation, analysis and traceability for quality control, maintenance and inspection workflows.
