In 2015 TQC introduced the prototype of the PowderTAG at trade fairs around the world. After a year of many test runs and fine tuning the PowderTAG is finally released. The instrument measures POWDER coating thickness up to 300 µm before and after cure. Non-contact, non-destructive and on metal substrates such as steel or aluminum.
PowderTAG measures smart
A sophisticated combination of infrared and photo thermal measurements guarantee
precise and repeatable coating thickness measurements. Because the PowderTAG’s pulse does not need to be perpendicular, and has a small measuring spot, the PowderTAG is very suitable to accurately determine the layer thickness on small, curved or hard to reach objects. Even on wire frames or small corners and edges. A LED pointer assists in determining the correct distance and location. Due to the non-contact measuring principle parts can be tested on a slow moving line without damaging the coating. For higher line speeds it is recommended to remove the part of the line via a bypass or stop the line.
PowderTAG saves
By measuring the powder layer before the start of the curing process, necessary action can be taken immediately in the coating process. This leads to savings in powder consumption and minimizes rework or rejects.
Proper use of the PowderTAG enhances quality levels and guaranties a reproducible production.
