The NexPTG PRO Carbon from NexDiag measures paint layer thickness across a range of 0–3000 μm with an accuracy of 1 μm. The movable, spherical ball probe allows the gauge to handle both flat panels and curved bodywork sections, which is essential when assessing used vehicles.

Beyond its core function as a paint thickness gauge, the unit has a built-in VIN reader and voice control, making it well suited to vehicle inspectors, car care businesses and reconditioning workshops that need fast, documented measurements. The gauge connects to the NexPTG app and can also be linked to a smartwatch app for measurements at a distance.

Key benefits of NexPTG PRO Carbon

NexPTG PRO Carbon streamlines report creation through suggested measurement points, automatic substrate recognition and ready-made report generation. The VIN reader scans the vehicle identification number and fills in basic data automatically, saving time at every inspection.

The gauge supports over 100 customisable bodywork types in the reports and an extended SAPL function (Statistical Analysis Paint Loss) for adjusting interpretation parameters based on average measurement values. This provides a more tailored and relevant analysis compared with simpler gauges in the same price bracket.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the NexPTG PRO Carbon from NexDiag work on plastic parts or carbon fibre panels?

No, the NexPTG PRO Carbon from NexDiag is designed to measure paint layers on metallic substrates: steel [Fe], galvanised steel [Fe+Zn] and aluminium [Al]. Plastic and composite parts without a metal substrate will not produce a reliable measurement, as the technology relies on substrate recognition in metal.

How is the NexPTG PRO Carbon powered, and does it need charging?

The NexPTG PRO Carbon from NexDiag runs on alkaline batteries included in the delivery, so it does not need charging via cable. The measurement memory holds up to 8000 entries before data needs to be transferred to the app, which is well suited to a full working day of inspections.
