Premium Vici VC998 Series Coating Thickness Gauges in Malaysia | Authorized Solutions by MTM Precision

Elevating NDT Inspection, Automotive Paint Quality Control, and Surface Coating Measurement Across Malaysian Enterprise and Industrial Infrastructure.

High-Precision Coating Thickness Measurement for Modern Industry

In automotive manufacturing, vehicle body repair, metal finishing, aerospace engineering, and quality control inspection,ensuring precise coating thickness is critical. Whether measuring paint films, protective galvanization, anodized coatings,or plated layers on iron, steel, or aluminum substrates, inspectors demand reliable non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment capable of delivering rapid and accurate readings.

Shenzhen Vicimeter Technology Co., Ltd. (globally recognized under the Vici brand) stands at the forefront of precision measurement innovation. Engineered to meet strict international standards, Vici coating thickness gauges deliver exceptional sensitivity and dependable performance. Distributed in Malaysia by MTM Precision Sdn. Bhd., Vici's flagship VC998 Series testing solutions provide local industries, automotive inspection centers, and quality engineers with the exact tools required to verify surface coating integrity and uphold rigorous quality benchmarks.

Flagship Spotlight: Vici VC998 Series Coating Thickness Gauges (VC998A, VC998B, VC998C, VC998D)

The Vici VC998 Series features an advanced, high-sensitivity non-destructive paint film probe with automatic iron-based and aluminum-based substrate identification. Designed with a wide-viewing-angle LCD and one-key display flip functionality, the series accommodates diverse operational environments:

Substrate Compatibility: Automatically switches between Fe probes (electromagnetic induction for iron, steel,and magnetic substrates) and NF probes (eddy current effect for aluminum, copper, and non-magnetic metal substrates).
Model Variations (VC998A / VC998B / VC998C / VC998D): Tailored configurations offering robust handheld ergonomics and high-precision film detection for automotive paint shops, metal fabrication, and plating inspection.

Detailed Technical Feature Breakdown

Automatic Substrate Identification: The VC998 series instantly recognizes whether the underlying metal is ferrous (iron/steel) or non-ferrous (aluminum/copper), automatically switching measurement principles between electromagnetic induction and eddy current testing without manual menu adjustments.
Wide Viewing Angle LCD with One-Key Display Flip: Engineered with a high-visibility screen and a convenient one-touch flip button, allowing inspectors to easily read measurement results when holding the gauge upside down or inspecting low vehicle rocker panels.
Non-Destructive High-Sensitivity Probe: Measures paint and protective film thickness without scratching,piercing, or damaging the underlying coating or substrate material.
Versatile Industrial Adaptability: Ideally suited for automotive paint inspection, iron structures, steel fabrication,aluminum panels, copper piping, and various other protective film applications.
Rugged Field Environment Tolerance: Operates reliably within $0\text{--}40^\circ\text$ temperature and $20\text{--}90\%\text{ RH}$ humidity conditions, built to withstand tropical jobsite environments (free from strong magnetic interference fields).
