Gloss Surface Analyzer gives orange peel and DOI measurement.
May 25, 2006 -
Designed for high- to semi-gloss surfaces, wave-scan dual aids in analysis and trouble-shooting of appearance problems by evaluating surface quality at each step of paint process. Able to measure both curved and flat areas, it detects optical profile of surfaces for structure spectrum of 0.1-30 mm. Tool features USB port and software auto-chart, and offers selectable scales and scan lengths. Using Access DB for database management, unit provides QC reports in Excel®.

wave-scan dual Orange Peel and DOI Measurement on High to Semi Gloss Surfaces
... appearance control is no longer limited to final topcoat inspection.
Like the wave-scan DOI, the optical profile of high gloss surfaces is detected using a laser light source. An additional, Infrared - high energy LED allows measuring the same structure spectrum (0.1 - 30 mm) on medium gloss surfaces. The dullness measurement is recorded with state-of-the-art CCD camera technology. It gives information on the image forming qualities of the surface caused by structures < 0.1 mm.
Close the appearance control loop for the entire paint process
Thus, the surface quality after each paint process step can be objectively evaluated. No more guessing which substrate layer is influencing the final appearance. The wave-scan dual will help you to objectively analyze appearance problems and reduce the time necessary for trouble shooting.
wave-scan dual - a diagnostic tool for trouble shooting and optimizing appearance
Now, you can establish appearance specifications for each paint layer to ensure the final appearance is always on target.
