Acrylic coating thickness matters across industries - inside soda cans to keep liquid off metal, inside/outside caps for pharmaceutical vials, and on steel or aluminum sheets to prevent corrosion. MProbe offers a customized solution to measure directly on the product, inline or on a desktop. Desktop work uses MProbe Vis or MProbe HC - the latter for large or bent metal sheets that can't sit on a stage; inline work integrates the Vis head with a scanner or uses a multichannel version. The 400–1000 nm range suits these measurements, and the method works on any translucent polymer coating regardless of chemistry.
Every MProbe system can be customized with specialized reflectance probes, software features and report protocol for the application requirement. Easy integration with third-party software is available through a Modbus TCP interface.
Why use MProbe Vis?
- Quick and reliable measurement of translucent acrylic coatings.
- Economical system with a long-lasting light source.
- User-friendly, robust TFCompanion software.
- The 400–1000 nm wavelength range is well suited for these measurements.
