Analyzer measures orange peel and DOI.
January 13, 2005 -
Suited for curved and small parts, Micro-Wave-Scan features selectable scan length of 20, 10, or 5 cm and measurement area of 4 mm x scan length. Hand-held unit can measure curvature greater than 300 mm. Structure spectrum gives information about various structure sizes, and cause of appearance changes can be analyzed. Up to 2,000 readings can be stored in selectable memories. Docking station automatically charges battery pack and transfers measured data to PC.

Orange Peel and DOI Measurement
Now you can measure Orange Peel and DOI on small and curved surfaces: Automotive add-on parts - like bumpers, gas tank doors, mirror housings, door handles, decorative trim or motorcycle parts.
...for curved and small parts
o Curvature > 300 mm
o Minimum sample size: 25 mm x 40 mm
o Selectable scan length 20, 10 or even 5 cm
o Measurement area: 4 mm x scan length
o DOI measurement possible without scanning the surface
o Good correlation to wave-scan DOI, the appearance standard in the automotive industry
Fits in the palm of your hand
o Small and light weight
o Easy to operate with one hand
o New scroll wheel to select functions and operate button to take readings
o Large display: complete statistics and alphanumeric name input
o Storage of 2000 readings in selectable memories
o Docking station for recharging battery pack and data transfer to PC
o Rechargeable battery pack or standard AA batteries can be used
o Professional documentation in Excel®, with database management
Objective and reliable appearance data
o Structure spectrum gives detailed information about various structure sizes
o High correlation to the visual perception
o Cause of appearance changes can be analyzed
o DOI - Distinctness of Image: objective measurement independent of paint system and curvature
The instrument is operated with a rechargeable battery pack (Li-Ion). The docking station automatically charges the battery pack and transfers the measured data to the PC. Optionally, the instrument can be operated with 2 standard AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries - good for 1000 readings.
