The PaintChecker online is a photo-thermal measuring device that allows a non-contact and non-destructive coating thickness measurement in accordance with DIN EN 15042-2. The device can be used for wet or dry organic coatings such as solvent- and water-based paint, powder paint and glazes on different substrates like metal, extruded rubber and ceramics. Relative movements between measuring head and the object to be measured are optically compensated, enabling real-time measurement with high local and time resolution. The opto-mechanical design allows use in the direct environment of the coating application. PaintChecker online is ideal for process control application but can also be used in laboratory environments. The PaintChecker online is the logically consistent development of the PaintChecker modular series and therefore the first system in third generation of the PaintChecker systems from OptiSense. As we completely reworked the software as well as the hardware we attached special importance to reliability, simple maintenance and easy handling. The features and innovations compared with the PaintChecker modular, entirely replaced by the new systems, are basically: Extension of the measuring areas as well as improvement of the measuring accuracy and reproducibility Intensive adjustments (for example in case of cable break) are no longer necessary due to completely digital communication and uC-based signal technology Longer life and higher productivity of optical components due to an optimised construction Simplified exchange of components by using serial numbers (software) and by using connector systems for all connections Improved reliability by avoiding the use of moving parts as far as possible (e. g. no hard disk) Use of standard interfaces tried and tested in industry (CAN/CANopen, HTTP; optional Profibus, 24 V, 4..20 mA) Reduction of space by integrating the evaluation and light source unit Programming interface (API) in form of a DLL or .NET class library available, for example in order to programme measuring procedures in laboratory environments
