PaintChecker modular system

The PaintChecker modular system is a measuring station with a coating thickness measuring system and 3D positioning technology. The measuring station is designed in such a way that it can be integrated into a coating system and the material flow can be directed through the station. With fully automatic measuring, quality control is achieved for every single component. The evaluation software can be matched to the task of the customer specifications.

Measuring system

The measuring system consists of a frame with the measuring chamber in the upper range. The measuring chamber can be accessed via a door on the front and contains the 3D positioning technology with the installed measuring head. The positioning technology is fitted onto a frame, the height of which can be adjusted to suit the measuring task. In the side panels of the measuring chamber, openings can be made for the material transport. In the bottom area are found the evaluation unit of the measuring system, the control for the positioning technology and the electric connectors to the installation control. Via an openable back panel, the electric components can be accessed, which allows easy installation.

The operation of the measuring station is made via a TFT monitor integrated into the front door and a keyboard in a keyboard drawer with a mouse. The keyboard drawer can be locked to secure it against unauthorised operation.

Modifications of the movements are entered directly at the front panel of the control via the "teach in" mode. To do this, the positions are approached manually and saved by pressing a key. Several positions can be saved in a single positioning program, which can automatically be started by the measuring software during measuring operation.

On the back of the measuring station are all the electrical contacts for the external communication. The following interfaces are available:
