Probes
Broadest probe portfolio on the market.
The heart of our electromagnetic measuring systems is the probe. It generates the measurement signal, which is subsequently evaluated. Selecting the right probe is crucial for the quality of the measurement result. We offer you a comprehensive range of high-precision measuring probes for a variety of applications for coating thickness measurement and material testing. We will find the optimum probe for your measuring task from over 100 standard probes, numerous special probes and digital probes. If required, we can also develop individual custom designs.

- Round or flat poles
- Different pole sizes
- Different pole materials, such as hard metal, ruby, TiN/TiC, PVD-coated, hard plastic
For different surface properties:
Probes with different measuring methods
- Magnetic-inductive probes: non-magnetizable coatings on well-magnetizable base materials
- Amplitude sensitive eddy current probes: non-magnetizable and electrically non-conductive coatings on electrically conductive, non-magnetizable base materials
- Dual probes: measuring on steel and non-ferrous metals
- Phase sensitive eddy current probes: electrically conductive, also magnetizable coatings on many different base materials
- Magnetic probes: magnetizable coatings on non-magnetizable base materials and non-magnetizable coatings (particularly thick metal layers) on base materials with good magnetizability
- Conductivity probes: measuring the specific electrical conductivity of non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminum alloys); confusion testing or indirect analysis of material properties (e.g. microstructure, degree of purity, hardness) via conductivity readings
- Duplex probes: paint on electroplated zinc on steel, paint on hot-dip zinc on steel
- Ferrite probes: ferrite content measurement and martensite content measurement on austenitic steels and duplex steels
Probes for special applications
Time and again, particularly challenging measuring tasks arise for which only a special probe solution can deliver precise measurement results. For this reason, Fischer experts develop individual special designs as required in order to offer maximum repeatability and accuracy.
Digital probes
With our digital probes, we offer smart and future-proof connectivity via USB-C interface and Bluetooth in conjunction with the DMP® series devices in proven Fischer quality. The digital probes are available for the entire DMP® series. You can continue to use the full performance of the analog probes with your DMP® device using our F-adapter. Experience the highest quality and maximum service life with our wear-resistant, serviceable and extremely robust probes with protection class IP65*.
