Objective measurement of paint mottling
Article No. 6350
cloud-runner
Control and guarantee a uniform finish – no more mottling
- Objective and reliable values for QC and trouble shooting
- Measurement results independent of color, curvature and
surrounding light conditions
Features
Mottling is an undesired effect which is most obvious on light metallic finishes. These irregular lightness variations can now be objectively measured with the cloud-runner. Small design, ease-of-use and fast data collection make the mottling meter the ideal tool for batch approval and process control.
- Measures under three angles to simulate different observing conditions
- Ideal tool for the production line: small, fast and easy to handle
- For flat and curved areas (radius larger than 50 cm)
- Scan length can be selected on the mottle meter from 10 to 100 cm
- Easy scroll wheel operation and large, multilingual display
- Full statistics with ability to save in selectable memories
- Docking station for data transfer to the PC and recharging the batteries of the mottling meter
- smart-chart software for flexible data analysis and professional documentation
