Replace Manual Weighing with Real-Time, Non-Contact Coating Thickness Measurement
Manual weighing methods for coating thickness are time-consuming, imprecise, and disruptive to production. The APOS UV-NIR distance sensor system eliminates the need for manual weighing by providing inline, real-time, non-contact measurement of UV lacquer thickness — directly on the production line.
Key benefits
No more stopping the line, removing samples, or relying on averaged lab results. Measurements happen continuously, without interrupting the process.
Immediately detect variations in coating thickness, enabling rapid correction before waste is created.
Non-destructive, optical process. Free up staff from repetitive, low-value manual checks and reduce production bottlenecks.
Continuous data flow allows for closed-loop process control, documentation, and full traceability.
Avoid the variability and operator dependency of manual weighing methods.
