The Novascope 6000 is an all-digital portable ultra-high precision thickness gauging instrument. With easy-to-use touchscreen controls, class leading ultra-thin spatial resolution, and high resolution (.0001in, .0025mm), it tackles the most challenging thickness gauging applications. It features a brilliant color display that offers a clear and precise waveform even in the most difficult lighting conditions. The instrument is loaded with a series of parameters and adjustment options to make literally any conventional UT probe from any manufacturer work at its best. From a handling perspective, it also became battery-operated as well as lighter than ever before. The latest version is backward compatible and allows the Novascope 6000 to be a direct drop-in replacement. Computer-based data transfer software comes included as a standard feature.
