coatmaster Flex
2. Customer Requirements and Device Specification
Measuring the coating thickness early in the process is the key to documenting and controlling coating
processes, saving coating material, improving coating quality, and reducing production time and scrap.
Coating processes are highly sensitive to changes in environmental conditions; therefore, it is crucial
to have access to a thickness gauge that is easy to operate and works well in an aggressive (dust, high
temperature) industrial environment.
The patented measurement process used by the coatmaster® Flex is non-contact (as opposed to
systems based on magnetic induction or ultrasound) and non-destructive. It can be applied on wet,
powder, and cured coatings, regardless of the coating material, thickness, or color (including white).
In contrast to magnetic induction-based systems, the Flex device permits measurement of coating
thickness early in the process, i.e., directly after the application of the coating material, before drying
or curing. This allows:
•
Savings of 10% - 30% coating material
• Reducing time for color changes
• Accelerating training of new personnel
•
Avoiding cost intensive rejects & reworks
•
Documenting coating processes
• Reducing environmental impact
• Establishing industry 4.0 standards
• Online-connection to ERP-System
coatmaster® Flex is the most advanced measurement gauge for non-contact thickness measurements.
It outperforms any other photothermal, LED/laser-based, and ultrasound systems on the market in all
industrial relevant aspects. It requires minimal calibration and is insensitive to the angle and distance
of measurement. Its superior reliability, user-friendliness, safe usage, cost-effectiveness, precision, and
accuracy is highly appreciated by major coating-line manufacturers, large paint manufacturers,
renowned experts and most importantly by coaters around the globe.
