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.
