Wavescan Dual

This portable instrument allows objective QC evaluation of surface quality after each point of the painting process. As with the Wave-scan DOI , the integrated laser system scans the specimen at 60° over a defined distance collecting the optical profile.

In order to reproduce human eye response the orange peel structures are divided into different levels within a spectrum ranging from 0.1 to 30 mm wavelengths.

Additionally an infra-red high energy LED also performs dullness measurement over the same distance using a newly integrated CCD camera, providing greater information on the image forming qualities, related to the DOI, of the surface caused by structures < 0.1mm.

Data can be transferred from the instrument to a powerful data capture/analysis package, Autochart, which is provided with the instrument.

Micro - wave - scan

This innovative new instrument allows the accurate measurement of previously visually assessed small and curved surfaces such as automotive bumpers, mirror housings, door handles and decorative trim. It also allows for measurements in a number of other applications where the curvature or shape of an object is the limiting factor.

Features
Orange peel and DOI for curved & small parts.
Correlates to wave-scan DOI - the automotive standard.
Small and light weight - easy to operate using integrated scroll wheel and menu guided operation.
Storage of 2000 readings in selectable memories.
Selectable scan lengths of 5, 10 or 20cm.
Comes complete with docking station for recharging batteries and data transfer.
Download to supplied software auto-chart for documentation and analysis.

Wavescan II

The Objective Eye for a Brilliant Finish

The appearance of surfaces changes with the size and distinctness of structures. Structures will be perceived as being very distinct, if e.g. an edge is reflected on the surface with high contrast and sharpness. The wave-scan II evaluates structure size as well as the brilliance of the surface.

Total Appearance – Orange Peel

High correlation to the visual by analyzing the structure size: Ultrashort to Ultralong wave.
DOI: Distinctness of Image – objective criteria for brilliance and gloss.
Classical Long wave (LW) and Short wave (SW).
Independent of paint system and refractive index - no matter whether comparing 1K, 2K or powder coating.
Reproducible results on test panels and curved parts (r > 1 m).
For solid and metallic coatings.
