Paul N. Gardner USA has introduced the coatmaster Flex noncontact wet film thickness gauge for noncontact wet film thickness measurements.

The company says the coatmaster Flex 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. 

Features include:

• Noncontact and nondestructive 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)
• Able to detect and correct deviation early in the process
• Process controlled, patented technology and material savings
• Complete with documentation
• Reduce rejects and increase production quality with immediate testing

Advantages include:

• Savings of 10-30% coating material
• Reducing time for color changes
• Avoiding cost-intensive rejects and reworks
• Documenting coating processes
• Establishing industry 4.0 standards
• Online connection to ERP system
