Coatmaster Flex – Non-contact Powder Coating Thickness Gauge (Before Curing)

The Coatmaster Flex is a perfectly portable device for quickly and accurately measuring coating thickness – wherever and whenever you need to.

Measuring coating thickness at the beginning of the process is crucial for documenting and controlling in-line coating processes, saving coating material, improving coating quality, and reducing both setup time and scrap rates. Coating processes are highly sensitive to changes in environmental conditions. Therefore, having access to an easy-to-use thickness gauge suitable for industrial environments is essential.

The Coatmaster Flex measures coating thickness immediately after application. It can be used to measure wet as well as cured/dried powders and paints. This portable coating thickness gauge operates based on the thermal layer testing (TLT) principle, and this patented technology does not rely on magnetic induction or ultrasonic methods. As a result, it enables contactless and non-destructive inspection of coatings.

The Coatmaster Flex can analyze coating thickness on metal, paper, rubber, ceramic, coil, glass, plastic, and wood surfaces. It provides fast and reproducible measurements, even on challenging parts such as narrow or moving surfaces.

Avoid rework: Detect and correct deviations early in the process.

Save material: Reduce material consumption by up to 30%. This saves money and protects the environment.

Don’t compromise on quality: Produce coatings with high precision and set new quality standards.
