Introducing the Magna-Mike 8600
Thickness Gage

2
00:00:12,165 --> 00:00:14,696
Hello, my name is Nina Giombetti

3
00:00:14,698 --> 00:00:17,298
and I am a sales engineer with
Olympus NDT.

4
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:18,731
Today I would like to introduce

5
00:00:18,733 --> 00:00:20,731
our latest Hall Effect Thickness Gage,

6
00:00:20,733 --> 00:00:22,666
the Magna-Mike 8600.

7
00:00:22,668 --> 00:00:24,500
This gage is used to measure

8
00:00:24,501 --> 00:00:26,200
the thickness of plastic bottles,

9
00:00:26,201 --> 00:00:29,900
packaging, and other
non-ferrous materials.

10
00:00:29,901 --> 00:00:31,765
The Magna-Mike 8600

11
00:00:31,766 --> 00:00:34,068
features a large color display,

12
00:00:34,070 --> 00:00:36,535
two new probe designs,

13
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:38,661
expanded thickness range

14
00:00:38,663 --> 00:00:40,335
and a new case design

15
00:00:40,336 --> 00:00:43,168
with an improved gage stand.

16
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:45,536
The large VGA display allows

17
00:00:45,538 --> 00:00:49,270
better visibility in all
lighting conditions.

18
00:00:49,271 --> 00:00:51,670
The 8600 can simultaneously display

19
00:00:51,671 --> 00:00:53,103
the live measurement

20
00:00:53,105 --> 00:00:54,370
along with the minimum,

21
00:00:54,371 --> 00:00:57,470
maximum and differential values.

22
00:00:57,471 --> 00:00:59,501
The Magna-Mike 8600 uses

23
00:00:59,503 --> 00:01:02,405
two newly redesigned probes:

24
00:01:02,406 --> 00:01:05,871
a straight and a right angle version.

25
00:01:05,873 --> 00:01:07,271
Both probes have

26
00:01:07,273 --> 00:01:09,805
an expanded measurement range.

27
00:01:09,806 --> 00:01:11,938
The new style 8600 probes

28
00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:13,838
have replaceable wear caps

29
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,940
which are durable
and impact resistant.

30
00:01:16,941 --> 00:01:18,406
When worn or damaged,

31
00:01:18,408 --> 00:01:19,640
replacing the wear cap will

32
00:01:19,641 --> 00:01:21,540
significantly reduce costs

33
00:01:21,541 --> 00:01:25,073
compared to replacing
the entire probe.

34
00:01:25,075 --> 00:01:26,406
The replaceable wear cap

35
00:01:26,408 --> 00:01:28,471
comes in two styles:

36
00:01:28,473 --> 00:01:30,208
the standard wear cap

37
00:01:30,210 --> 00:01:31,975
and a chisel tip wear cap

38
00:01:31,976 --> 00:01:35,008
for airbag tear seam applications.

39
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:36,841
The Magna-Mike 8600

40
00:01:36,843 --> 00:01:39,541
can be used with three new targets:

41
00:01:39,543 --> 00:01:41,441
two magnetic target balls

42
00:01:41,443 --> 00:01:43,473
and a wire target.

43
00:01:43,475 --> 00:01:45,108
The magnetic target balls

44
00:01:45,110 --> 00:01:46,710
greatly increase the maximum

45
00:01:46,711 --> 00:01:48,510
possible thickness range of

46
00:01:48,511 --> 00:01:53,310
up to 1 inch or 25.4 mm.

47
00:01:53,311 --> 00:01:54,676
This new measurement range

48
00:01:54,678 --> 00:01:56,741
is ideally suited for applications

49
00:01:56,743 --> 00:01:59,010
such as aerospace castings,

50
00:01:59,011 --> 00:02:00,811
which cannot be measured accurately

51
00:02:00,813 --> 00:02:02,843
using ultrasonic instruments

52
00:02:02,845 --> 00:02:04,478
due to varying grain structure

53
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,711
and sound velocity.

54
00:02:06,713 --> 00:02:08,378
The wire target can be used

55
00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:09,845
to measure wall thickness

56
00:02:09,846 --> 00:02:12,411
in applications such as
gun drilled holes

57
00:02:12,413 --> 00:02:15,846
and turbine blade cooling holes.

58
00:02:15,848 --> 00:02:18,113
The 8600 offers an internal

59
00:02:18,115 --> 00:02:19,846
alphanumeric datalogger

60
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:21,380
that allows the gage to store

61
00:02:21,381 --> 00:02:22,546
and transfer data

62
00:02:22,548 --> 00:02:24,146
to an Excel spreadsheet

63
00:02:24,148 --> 00:02:27,480
using the included WinXL
interface program.

64
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:29,246
It can also transfer data

65
00:02:29,248 --> 00:02:31,848
to other SPC software programs

66
00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:34,448
using either the standard USB

67
00:02:34,450 --> 00:02:37,781
or RS232 outputs.

68
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:39,915
Files can also be exported

69
00:02:39,916 --> 00:02:42,046
to the removable MicroSD card

70
00:02:42,048 --> 00:02:43,350
in two formats,

71
00:02:43,351 --> 00:02:47,583
either text or Excel compatible CSV.

72
00:02:47,585 --> 00:02:49,648
The new Magna-Mike 8600

73
00:02:49,650 --> 00:02:51,250
is a portable thickness gage

74
00:02:51,251 --> 00:02:53,281
that uses a simple magnetic method

75
00:02:53,283 --> 00:02:54,716
to make reliable and repeatable

76
00:02:54,718 --> 00:02:57,083
measurements on non ferrous materials.

77
00:02:57,085 --> 00:02:59,550
The expanded thickness range
and new targets

78
00:02:59,551 --> 00:03:00,651
allow the instrument to make

79
00:03:00,653 --> 00:03:02,318
measurements in applications

80
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,351
that were previously not possible.

81
00:03:04,353 --> 00:03:05,751

82
00:03:05,753 --> 00:03:07,551
