European patent for coating thickness measurement
Sensory Analytics, announced the issuance of a new European patent. It covers methods and systems for the in-process thickness measurement of thinner coatings or layers on various substrates.
The patent extends the company’s current intellectual property portfolio related to measuring thinner coatings and layers into the EU. Sensory Analytics has launched a series of innovative measurement tools including its exclusive „SpecMetrix” coil coating measurement systems for primer, pretreatments, clear coats, back coats, and highly pigmented thicker topcoats directly on coil coating lines or in QA labs. All systems give users accurate, objective, and real-time coating measurement data without any operator interpretation or involvement. With the capability of measuring a broad coating thickness range from 0.2 to 250 microns and a wide variety of materials from transparent to highly pigmented coatings, the systems help manufacturing customers in over 40 countries to reduce costs while streamlining plant QA processes. These patented and exclusive offerings are integrated with proprietary „SpecMetrix” software to automatically capture and deliver real-time coating and layer thickness data for improved process control and quality assurance.
