8400K (J Chadwick) Features and Specifications *
The J Chadwick 8400 Optical Depth Micrometer measures the depth of scratches, chips, burrs, and other types of damage on surfaces. It can be used on flat or curved surfaces and on all types of materials and finishes. To use the device, a starting reference point (or "zero point") is established by focusing on the surface next to the damaged area. The depth of the damage is then recorded by focusing on the bottom of the damaged area and reading the measurement from the digital display. This device helps in eliminating guesswork from the decision process of repair or replace, saving resources by identifying parts that can safely be repaired and returned to service, avoiding needless replacement costs.
The J Chadwick 8400K Digital Optical Depth Micrometer is a state-of-the-art tool designed to provide precise and reliable measurements of surface damage, making it an invaluable asset in maintenance and repair operations. This micrometer allows technicians to make accurate "repair or replace" decisions by eliminating guesswork, thanks to its ability to produce quick, accurate, and repeatable results. It is particularly useful in assessing the depth of surface damage on a variety of components including composites, masts, propellers, shafts, and windshields, among others.
The 8400K kit includes interchangeable bases and lenses, making it versatile for use on almost any surface. The standard kit comprises a digital optical micrometer, various bases (3-leg, 4-leg, and clear acrylic V-block), eyepieces with different magnifications (10X and 20X), objective lenses (4X and 10X), and a scratch sample plate for training. This comprehensive set is housed in a portable case, weighing less than 7 lbs, and is designed for easy transport and use in various environments including MRO stations, FBOs, military bases, and laboratories worldwide. The tool's high accuracy (+/- 0.001” / 0.01mm) and magnification range (80X-200X) ensure detailed and precise inspections.
The J Chadwick 8400K price and features make it a very attractive option compared to similar borescope / fiberscope test sets available on the market.
