The NovaScope 6000 has been developed for the most demanding of thickness gauging tasks such as the wall thickness of turbine blades or on line wall thickness measurement of tubes at high speed. It has outstanding performance and high accuracy.

The NovaScope 6000 - Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge. For More than 40 years, the NovaScope series of instruments have been the first choice for high precision ultrasonic thickness measurements. Introduced to the market in 2015, the latest iteration designated NovaScope 6000 incorporates the proven, traditional features which customers came to appreciate and rely on throughout the instrument’s generations. In addition, new capabilities have been designed which offer advanced possibilities to fine-tune and customize measurement setups. 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 NovaScope continues to incorporate a full colour touch screen display featuring virtual front panel controls that mimic the same layout as it’s predecessors. Users already familiar with the set-up and operation of previous NovaScope models will feel right at home. Previous calibration procedures continue to directly apply to the NovaScope. • Class leading ultra thin spatial resolution • High-Resolution (0.0001in, 0.0025mm) • Touch-screen controls • Familiar menu layout, screens and setups. A New Bright, High Speed, High Contrast TFT display offering almost a digital phosphor look, closely emulating the favourite CRT that has been offered on all NovaScopes previously.. (by popular demand). This new fluid like display is sure to satisfy the most discriminating users... old & new. All this AND, STILL the finest thickness measuring instrument available!
