Press release submitted on behalf of GARDCO.
Paul N. Gardner USA (GARDCO), Columbia, Maryland, worldwide distributors, producers and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings and related industries, announced the new coatmaster® Flex non-contact wet film thickness gauge.
The coatmaster® Flex is the most advanced measurement gauge for non-contact wet film thickness measurements. It outperforms other photothermal, LED/laser-based and ultrasound systems on the market in all relevant industrial aspects. It requires minimal calibration, is insensitive to the angle and distance of measurement and permits measurement of coating thickness directly after the application of the coating material and before drying or curing. Its superior reliability, user-friendliness, safety, cost-effectiveness, precision and accuracy are highly important to major coating line manufacturers, large paint manufacturers, renowned experts and most importantly by coaters around the globe.
Features:
- Non-contact and non-destructive wet film coating thickness measurement
- Can be used to measure directly after application on wet, powder and cured coatings, regardless of the coating material, thickness or color (including white)
- Detect and correct deviation early in the process
- Process controlled, patented technology and material saving
- Complete with documentation
- Reduce rejects and increase production quality with immediate testing
Advantages:
- Savings of 10% – 30% coating material
- Reducing time for color changes
- Avoiding cost intensive rejects & reworks
- Documenting coating processes
- Establishing industry 4.0 standards
- Online-connection to ERP-System
