Paint Thickness Gauge 0-1500µm, 80cm Probe Cable, Automatic Material Recognition, Blue Technology

Quick Facts – Blue Technology Paint Thickness Gauge

• Brand: Blue Technology
• Model: MGR-10-S-AL
• Measurement range: 0-1500 µm
• Probe cable: 80 cm
• Material recognition: Automatic, for steel, galvanised steel and aluminium
• Memory function: Last 30 measurements
• Display: Backlit
• Certification: CE

The Blue Technology MGR-10-S-AL measures paint layer thickness from 0 to 1500 µm with a resolution of 10 µm, giving a detailed picture of the paintwork's condition during inspection or purchase. The 80 cm long probe cable makes it possible to reach sills, door pillars and other hard-to-access areas without having to move the whole vehicle.

The unit automatically identifies whether the substrate is steel, galvanised steel or aluminium and adjusts the measurement accordingly. The result is shown directly on a backlit display, which makes readings easier even in poorly lit environments such as a workshop hall or an outdoor storage area.

The tool is aimed at both professionals working in vehicle inspection and reconditioning, as well as enthusiasts who want to check the paintwork history before buying a car. More vehicle inspection tools are available in our range.

Why reconditioning workshops choose the Blue Technology Paint Thickness Gauge

Reconditioning workshops choose this gauge for its combination of precision and practical handling. The automatic material recognition reduces the risk of measurement errors when a vehicle has both steel and aluminium panels, which is common on newer models.

The memory function, which stores the last 30 measurement results, makes it easy to document several measurement points on the same vehicle before transferring the results to an inspection report or customer documentation.

Is the Blue Technology Paint Thickness Gauge suited to workshop and field use?

Yes, the gauge works both in a fixed workshop environment and for measurements out in the field, for example when purchasing used vehicles. Typical applications include:

• Checking paint layer thickness during used vehicle valuation
• Quality control after paint repair or bodywork
• Damage assessment in connection with insurance claims
• Documentation of paint thickness before purchasing a vehicle

Technical Specifications

Suitable for: detailing studios, reconditioning workshops, car care businesses and private individuals who want to check the paintwork's condition before buying a used vehicle.

Industries: vehicle care, the reconditioning industry, car dealerships and vehicle inspection services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the Blue Technology MGR-10-S-AL work on plastic components?

No, the Blue Technology MGR-10-S-AL is designed for measuring on steel, galvanised steel and aluminium. Plastic parts, such as composite bumpers, cannot be measured accurately with this device.

How should the Blue Technology MGR-10-S-AL be stored between measurements?

The Blue Technology MGR-10-S-AL should be stored dry and protected from extreme temperatures as well as strong magnetic fields to maintain measurement accuracy over time. Avoid dropping the unit, as the internal components are sensitive to impact.

What sets the Blue Technology MGR-10-S-AL apart from other paint thickness gauges with a fixed probe?

The Blue Technology MGR-10-S-AL has an 80 cm long probe cable instead of a fixed-mounted probe, giving access to confined spaces such as door pillars and sills without having to move the vehicle. The combination of automatic material recognition and memory for 30 measurements makes the unit more flexible than models with a fixed probe housing.
