The new coatmaster^® Flex non-contact wet film thickness gauge from Paul N. Gardner USA (GARDCO) is the most advanced measurement gauge for non-contact wet film thickness measurements. It outperforms other photothermal, LED/laser-based, and ultrasound systems on the market in all relevant industrial aspects. Requiring minimal calibration, it is insensitive to the angle and distance of measurement and permits measurement of coating thickness directly after the application of the coating material and before drying or curing. Its superior reliability, user-friendliness, safety, cost-effectiveness, precision, and accuracy are highly important to major coating line manufacturers, large paint manufacturers, renowned experts and most importantly by coaters around the globe.

Features include the following: 

• Non-contact and non-destructive wet film coating thickness measurement
• Can be used to measure directly after application on wet, powder, and cured coatings, regardless of the coating material, thickness, or color (including white) 
• Detect and correct deviation early in the process
• Process controlled, patented technology and material saving
• Complete with documentation
• Reduce rejects and increase production quality with immediate testing

The coatmaster Flex offers many advantages, including a savings of 10-30% of coating material, reducing the time for color changes, avoiding cost-intensive rejects and reworks, documenting coating processes, establishing Industry 4.0 standards, and online connection to ERP systems.
