PHAETON™
OFF LINE FILM THICKNESS PROFILE MEASUREMENT
The PHAETON™ installed near the exit shear/inspection station of your CPL provides full strip width paint thickness profiles of the top and reverse sides in seconds. The results can be instantly displayed on a screen just outside the coater room so that any set-up problems are identified and corrected immediately.
Simple Principle of Operation
PHAETON TM uses a direct measurement approach – it’s calibration free, regardless of paint or substrate type. Lasers penetrate the coating to just touch the metallic substrate, and to measure local paint coating thickness. Films from 3µm to 200µm can be measured. The baseline for measurement can be adjusted to the top, bottom, or middle of the paint surface.
