Automotive painting is a challenging process, and requires each layer to be sprayed at the optimal thickness. Some leading-edge, ultrasonic thickness gauges can provide both the thickness measurement of each individual layer, and the total thickness measurement of several layers at once, making the process faster and easier.
Coating thickness directly affects product quality, whether for automotive paint, electroplating, anodizing or a wide range of other coating applications.
Called Advanced Thermal Optics (ATO), the sensing means behind the system enables for highly accurate film thickness to be measured with a non-contact means on cured or uncured organic powder and powder enamel in a way that is extremely adaptable to the production environment.
With a probe-in-pen design, Phascope Paint measures non-destructive coating thickness of non-conductive coating materials on steel or iron and on non-ferrous metals.
The SpecMetrix DFT QA Coating Measurement System delivers immediate non-contact, non-destructive and non-radioactive coil coating thickness measurement data without the need for calibration coupons.
The new photothermal measuring device can measure the thickness of more than 95 percent of the powder coatings currently on the market, including normal, textured and metallic products.
Elcometer 500 coating thickness gauge is easy to use and features a robust and ergonomic design, menu-driven color display, user-selectable statistics, memory, USB and Bluetooth® data transfer.
